Taxonomy
editBerberis polyodonta was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia polyodonta by Friedrich Karl Georg Fedde.[1][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 polyodonta. As of 2023 this is the most common classification by botanists.[1][4]
