Berberidaceae

Thunberg barberry (Berberis thunbergii )

The Barberry Family ( Berberidaceae ), also called Barberry plants are a family in the order of Hahnenfußartigen ( Ranunculales ) within the angiosperms ( Magnoliopsida ).

Description

There are herbaceous and woody taxa, but most species are shrubs. Some species are xerophytes in the Asian deserts.

The hermaphrodite flowers are radial symmetry and mostly ternate. The anthers open often with two flaps. In each flower there is only one constant upper carpel which usually contains many ovules.

When fruits are follicles or berries, rarely formed nutlets that contain one to 50 seeds.

Dissemination

Most species are in eastern Asia and eastern North America. Its main distribution is in the northern temperate latitudes. Some species have their home in South America and North Africa. Many species have a disjoint area.

System

The Berberidaceae family in 1789 by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu is in Genera plantarum, p 286. Synonyms for Berberidaceae Juss. are: Diphylleiaceae Schultz Sch, Leonticaceae Airy Shaw, Nandinaceae Horan, Podophyllaceae DC.. . nom. cons. , Ranzaniaceae Takht ..

The Barberry Family ( Berberidaceae ) family is divided into two subfamilies and includes 14 to 17 genera with about 700 species:

  • Berberidoideae: There are 13 to 16 genera with 650-700 species: Achlys DC. It has a disjoint area with only two or three types: one type in Japan and one or two species in North America.
  • Barberry (Berberis L.): It contains about 400 to 600 species.
  • Bongardia C.A.Mey. Contains only one type: Bongardia Chrysogonum (L.) Griseb. ( Syn: Bongardia Margalla RRStewart ex Qureshi & Chaudhri ): It is distributed from the eastern Mediterranean to the western Pakistan.
  • Indian cot or Indian Blueberry ( Caulophyllum thalictroides (L.) Michx. ): It is distributed in North America.
  • Umbrella Leaf ( Diphylleia cymosa Michx. ): It is native to the United States.
  • Jeffersonia diphylla (L. ) Pers. It is native to eastern North America.
  • Plagiorhegma dubia Maxim. ( Syn: Jeffersonia dubia ( Maxim. ) Benth & Hook f ex Baker & Moore, Jeffersonia manchuriensis Hance. . ): It is in China, Korea and Russia home.
  • Sinopodophyllum hexandrum ( Royle ) TSYing ( Syn: Podophyllum hexandrum Royle ): It is located in eastern Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, northern India, Kashmir, Nepal, Pakistan and Sikkim.
  • Ranzania japonica ( T.Itô ex Maxim. ) T.Itô: It is endemic to the Japanese island of Honshu.
  • Nandinoideae: It's a monotypical taxon: Nandina Thunb. Contains only one type: Sky Bamboo ( Nandina domestica Thunb. ): It is a shrub from East Asia.
