Berberis moranensis[2] is a shrub in the genus Berberis in the family Berberidaceae. Because of its compound leaves, some botanists place it in the genus Mahonia.[3] It is native to forested regions of the mountains of Mexico from Sinaloa and Guanajuato to Oaxaca. Berberis moranensis has thick waxy leaves, yellow flowers, and purple berries.[4][5] This species is closely related to Berberis pimana J.E. Laferr. & J.S. Marr.[6][7]
