Taxonomy

Berberis shenii was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia shenii by Woon-Young Chun (Huan-Yong Chen, 陈焕镛).[1] He named it in honor of Professor P.F. Shen of Sun Yatsen University in Canton (Guangzhou).[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 shenii. As of 2023 this is the most common classification by botanists.[1][4][5]
