Berberis sargentiana, No. 25. The plant described is the true species, but the shrub cult. under this name is often B. Julianae, Schneid., which seems slightly hardier; it has the young branches yellowish and slightly grooved (terete and red while young in B. Sargentiana), shorter lvs. hardly exceeding 2 1/2 in., firmer and less reticulate beneath, elliptic bloomy frs. crowned by a short style, on pedicels 1/4 – 1/2 in. long.
