Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BARBERRY (Berberis vulgaris) , a shrub with spiny-toothed leaves, which on the woody shoots are reduced to forked spines, and
pale
  yellow
flowers
  in
hanging
  racemes, which are succeeded by orange-red berries. It is a member of the botanical natural order Berberidaceae, and contains about too species in the north temperate zone and in the Andes of
South
  America extending into Patagonia. The order is nearly allied to the
buttercup
  order in having the parts of the
flowers
  all free and arranged in
regular
  succession below the ovary which consists of only one carpel. It is distinguished by having the sepals, petals and stamens in multiples of 2, 3 or 4, never of 5. The berries of Berberis are edible; those of the native barberry are sometimes made into preserves. The alkaloid berberine (q.v.) occurs in the roots.
