The type of Berberis Poiretii is a peculiar form with elongated bracts 

 and simple spines. It is not Berberis sinensis /3. angustifolia Regel, 

 nor the form which J. D. Hooker had illustrated in Botanical Maga- 

 zine t. 6573 under the name of Berberis si?ie?isis, or the ordinary form 

 in North China, Manchuria, and North Korea. Forma weichangensis 

 Schneider is this ordinary form. I regret that the name of this 

 Chinese Berberis has been intentionally changed to Berberis Poiretii 

 from B. sine?isis while the latter has good synonyms such as Berberis 

 spathulata Schrader, B. Guimpeli Koch & Bouche, B. serotina Lange. 



Berberis sect. Vulgares Schneider in Bull. Herb. Boiss. 2 ser, V, 660

Folia decidua, semper spinulosc-serrata. Flores racemosi, rarissime 

 fasciculati. Species 20 in Asia et Europa restrictas, quarum 2 in Korea 

 indigena; sunt.
