Berberis leptodonta is a shrub in the family Berberidaceae, first described in 1938. It is endemic to China, found in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces.
Taxonomy
Berberis leptodonta was initially scientifically described and named by François Gagnepain as Mahonia leptodonta in 1938. A paper published by Joseph Edward Laferrière in 1997 summarized the arguments for Mahonia being more properly classified as a synonym of Berberis renaming it Berberis leptodonta. As of 2023 this is the most common classification by botanists.
