It now proves to be an undescribed species, closely allied to Mahonia 
paniculata Oerst. The origin of the plant is unknown, but its nearest 
allies are natives of Central America, where they occur at altitudes 
of from 8000 to 10000 feet on the slopes of volcanic mountains in 
Guatemala and Costa Rica.
