Berberis sanguinea Franchet in Nouv. Arch. Mus. Paris, sér. 2, 
VIII. 194, t. 5 (Pl. David. 12, t. 5) (1885). — Schneider in Bull. 
Herb. Boissier, sér. 2, V. 403 (pro parte) (1905); VIII. 196 (1908). 
Frutex ramulis junioribus striatis v. sulcatis, pallide cinereis v. 
flavescentibus, foliis subtus paullo v. vix pallidis, margine dentibus 
satis crassis et approximatis (in foliis 5 cm. longis utrinque 13-15); 
pedicellis vix supra 6-12(-15) mm. longis. 
Western Szech’uan: Tachien-lu, open country, alt. 2300-2600 m., 
September 1910 (No. 4637; bush 1-1.60 m. tall, fruit bluish black). 
Pan-lan-shan, west of Kuan Hsien, thickets, rare, alt. 3000 m., June 
21, 1908 (No. 2875; bush 0.75-1.5 m. tall, flowers yellow and bronze). 
The typical Berberis sanguinea is well distinguished by these characters. The 
preceding species is according to my opinion quite distinct. No. 2875 represents 
a form with smaller leaves, the serration of which is very much like that of B. 
triacanthophora Fedde, but the branches are yellow and distinctly suleate and the 
flowers are short-pedicelled. The unripe fruits contain three ovules.
