Abstract

Berberis Xottawensis is the hybrid of B. vulgaris (common barberry) and B. thunbergii (Japanese barberry). In the wild, this interspecific taxon appears to have been largely overlooked. Here, we report that this hybrid is relatively widespread in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Furthermore, we present evidence that the hybrid individuals are capable of producing some viable seed and pollen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The article presents a study conducted at the University of Connecticut by a research team led by Dr. Mark H. Brand aimed at investigating the suitability of ornamental ninebark cultivars as alternatives for purple and yellow cultivars of Japanese barberry, Berberis thunbergii. The researchers note the infection of the test plants by powdery mildew soon after the evaluation was commenced. The study suggests that the species will remain inextricably linked since most cultivars are susceptible.
