'''''Berberis verruculosa''''', common name the '''Warty Barberry''', is an [[evergreen]] [[shrub]], ranging in size from 1-2 m, native to western [[China]]. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 1.5-2 cm long, hard, leathery, glossy dark green above, vivid white below with [[stomata]]l wax; in cold [[winter]] weather, the leaves may turn purplish-green above on exposed shoots. The [[flowers]] are small, yellow, and mature into dark purple [[fruit]] 6-10 mm long. It gets its common name from its "warty" stems, that have rounded, more or less identical, raised spots. It thrives in shade or partial shade.
It is popular as an [[ornamental plant]], and grows well in any garden soil.
