Descriptor Berberis
Scope note: Género de plantas de la familia BERBERIDACEAE. Los nombres comunes de algerita o de parra de Oregón se emplean también para MAHONIA. La baya de laurel de nombre similar es la MYRICA no relacionada. La parra de Oregón fue clasificada por Pursh como una Berberis pero Nuttall dice que es lo suficientemente diferente como para llamarlo un nuevo género, MAHONIA. Los botánicos insisten en este nombre mientras que los horticultores permanecen con Mahonia. Son arbustos con madera amarilla y generalmente espinas trirramificadas en la base de los pecíolos. Las flores son amarillas, con seis pétalos y la fruta es una baya con una a varias semillas. Los miembros contienen BERBERINA.

Scope note: A plant genus in the family BERBERIDACEAE. The common names of Barberry or Oregon Grape are also used for MAHONIA. The similar-named Bayberry is the unrelated MYRICA. Oregon Grape was classified by Pursh as a Berberis but Nuttall claimed it is different enough to call it a new genus, MAHONIA. Botanists insist on this name while horticulturists stay with Mahonia. They are shrubs with yellow wood and usually three-branched spines at the base of leafstalks. Flowers are yellow, six-petaled and fruit is a berry with one to several seeds. Members contain BERBERINE.
