Taxonomy Berberis bracteolata was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia bracteolata by Hisayoshi Takeda.Takeda, Notes of the Royal Botanical Garden of Edinburgh 6: 228. 1917. In 1997 a paper was published by Joseph Edward Laferrière arguing for moving it and other species out of genus Mahonia to genus Berberis that has since become the most commonly accepted classification.
