Taxonomy
editBerberis decipiens was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia decipiens by Camillo Karl Schneider.[2][4] A paper was published by Joseph Edward Laferrière in 1997 summarized the arguments for reclassifying moving it and other species of genus Mahonia as part of genus Berberis. As of 2023 this is the most commonly accepted classification.[2][5]
