Taxonomy

Berberis reticulinervia was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia reticulinervia by Cheng Yih Wu and Shi Ying Bao.[1] Slightly before this in 1985 Pei Ken Hsiao and Yu Sheng Wang had described and named Mahonia retinervis, however this is now generally described as a heterotypic synonym, one with a different type specimen from the one that now describes the species.[4][5][6] 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 reticulinervia. As of 2023 this is the most common classification by botanists.[1][7]
