Berberidaceae is a family of 15 genera flowering plants commonly called the barberry family. Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Magnoliopsida is the Botanical name for a class of Flowering plants By definition the class will include the family Magnoliaceae, but its Ranunculales is an order of Flowering plants Of necessity it contains the family Ranunculaceae, the Buttercup family Antoine Laurent de Jussieu ( April 12, 1748 - September 17, 1836) was a French Botanist, notable as the first to propose In Biological classification, family ( Latin The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group This family is in the order Ranunculales. This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used Ranunculales is an order of Flowering plants Of necessity it contains the family Ranunculaceae, the Buttercup family The family contains about 570 species, of which the majority (450) are in Berberis. The species include trees, shrubs and perennial herbaceous plants. A tree is a perennial Woody plant. It is most often defined as a woody plant that has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground on a single main stem or A shrub or Bush is a horticultural rather than strictly botanical category of Woody plant, distinguished from a Tree A perennial plant or perennial ( Latin per, "through" annus, "year" is a Plant that lives for more than A herbaceous plant (or in botanical use a Herb) is a Plant that has leaves and stems that die down at the end of

The APG II system of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system of 1998) recognises the family and places it in the order Ranunculales in the clade eudicots. Achlys is a small genus of flowering plants in the barberry family, which it shares with genera such as Berberis and Vancouveria. Berberis ( Bér-be-ris, barberry, pepperidge bush) a Genus of about 450-500 species of Deciduous and Evergreen Caulophyllum is a small Genus of perennial herbs in the family Berberidaceae. Epimedium, also known as Barrenwort, Bishop's Hat, Fairy Wings, Horny Goat Weed, or Yin Yang Huo (淫羊藿 is a "Twinleaf" redirects here For the town in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl see Twinleaf Town.

Mahonia is a genus of about 70 species of Evergreen Shrubs in the family Berberidaceae, native to eastern Asia, the Himalayas Nandina domestica ( Heavenly bamboo or Sacred bamboo) is a suckering Shrub in the Barberry family Berberidaceae; it is a monotypic Podophyllum is a genus of six species of Herbaceous Perennial plants in the family Berberidaceae, native to eastern Asia (five Podophyllum peltatum (the mayapple is a Herbaceous Perennial plant in the family Berberidaceae, native to the eastern part of North Vancouveria is a small genus of plants belonging to the barberry family. Ranunculales is an order of Flowering plants Of necessity it contains the family Ranunculaceae, the Buttercup family Eudicots and Eudicotyledons are terms introduced by Doyle & Hotton (1991 to refer to a group of Flowering plants that had been called "tricolpates" or "non-Magnoliid

In some older treatments of the family, Berberidaceae only included four genera (Berberis, Epimedium, Mahonia, Vancouveria), with the other genera treated in separate families, Leonticaceae (Bongardia, Caulophyllum, Gymnospermium, Leontice), Nandinaceae (Nandina), and Podophyllaceae (Achlys, Diphylleia, Dysosma, Jeffersonia, Podophyllum, Ranzania).

Mahonia is very closely related to Berberis, and some botanists include it within Berberis. Species in the two genera can be hybridised, with the hybrids being classified in the hybrid genus × Mahoberberis. In Biology, hybrid has two meanings The first meaning is the result of interbreeding between two animals or plants of different taxa.
