Lectotype : LT : Berberis vulgaris L. Lectotype species chosen by A.S. Hitchcock. 1929. Berberis vulgaris in
International Botanical Congress. Cambridge (England), 1930.
Nomenclature. Proposals by British Botanists. 147, HMSO, London. The
same species was designated as an earlier lectotype (1913) by N. L.
Britton & A. Brown, Ill. Fl. N. U.S. ed. 2. 2: 127. 1913. However,
American Code typifications such as these are regarded as having been
made using a 'largely mechanical method of selection' (Art. 10.5 of the
ICN), and *Ex. 7 explicitly indicates Britton & Brown as having
worked in this way. Consequently, the typification is attributable to
Hitchcock. -C. Jarvis (BM), 2015.
