Berberis sheridaniana
Berberis sheridaniana is a shrub in the Berberidaceae described as a species in 1913. It is endemic to China, found in the provinces of Hubei and Sichuan.[2] TaxonomyBerberis sheridaniana was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia sheridaniana by Camillo Karl Schneider.[1] He named it named in honor of "Dr. W.R. Sheridan, formerly of the American Methodist Mission Hospital in Chengtu" (Chengdu, 成都市)[3] This is most likely an error for Dr. W.J. Sheridan, of the Canadian Methodist Mission Hospital in Chengtu.[4] A paper published by Joseph Edward Laferrière in 1997 summarized the arguments for Mahonia being more properly classified as a synonym of Berberis renaming it Berberis sheridaniana. As of 2023 this is the most common classification by botanists.[1][5][6] References
