Taxonomy edit
Berberis longibracteata was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia longibracteata by Hisayoshi Takeda in 1917.[2][3] A paper published by Joseph Edward Laferrière in 1997 summarized the arguments for Mahonia being more properly classified as a synonym of Berberis renaming it Berberis longibracteata. As of 2023 this is the most common classification by botanists.[2][4]
