Notes
This shrub, the only representative of the Order known to me in tropical Africa, is abundant in the Himalaya, occurring also in the mountains of the Indian peninsula and Ceylon. It is very closely allied to the common Barberry (B. vulgaris), which differs principally in its sessile stigma. For synonymy, see Hook. f. et Thoms. ‘Flora Indica,’ i. 222.
