subpart — black stem rust (quarantine no. 38) 
ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS; CLASSIFICATION OF BARBERRY AND 
MAHONIA PLANTS 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
Under this revision of Circular B. E. P. Q. 385, two species of barberries, 
Berbcr-is aemuhins and B. dictyophylla var. albieaulis, have been removed from 
the list of species which may be shipped into or between the protected States, 
inasmuch as recent tests have shown that both aemulans and dictyophylla are 
susceptible to the black stem rust. B. bedJei (Mahonia) has been added to the 
permitted list. The range of this species for satisfactory cultivation, however, 
is practically limited to the area south of the protected States.
