Taxonomy

Berberis eurybracteata was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia eurybracteata by Friedrich Karl Georg Fedde. A paper was published by Joseph Edward Laferrière in 1997 summarized the arguments for reclassifying moving it and other species of genus Mahonia to be part of genus Berberis. As of 2023 this is the most commonly accepted
classification.
