Berberis dictyota
Shining netvein barberry (Berberis dictyota, now often treated as Berberis aquifolium var. dictyota) is an evergreen shrub from California's chaparral and oak woodland, grown for its spiny, glossy foliage and yellow spring flowers. It is hardy and drought-tolerant once established, and does best with good drainage and full sun to part shade.
Berberis dictyota, now reclassified as Berberis aquifolium var. dictyota, with the common names Jepson's oregon grape and shining netvein barberry, is a flowering plant in the Barberry family.
The plant is endemic to California. It is very widespread, found from the Peninsular Ranges in San Diego County north to the Klamath Mountains in Siskiyou County, and east to the Sierra Nevada.
