Read about Vancouveria in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Vancouveria (after Capt. George Vancouver, commander of the Discovery in the voyage to the northwest coast in 1791-1795). Berberidaceae. Low hardy perennial herbs, grown in the garden border.

Rhizome creeping: lvs. pinnate, 2-3-ternately compound: scape leafless, racemose or somewhat paniculate at the summit: sepals 6, in 2 rows, obovate, petal-like, reflexed; petals 6, ligulate; stamens 6: fr. a follicle, dehiscent by a dorsal suture.—Three species, natives of the Pacific coast of N. Amer. The lvs. are somewhat like maidenhair or rue, and the fls. are rather small and white or yellow. Vancouverias demand a rich soil in rather shady positions. They are not showy plants, but have foliage of an elegant and refined type.
