Oregon-grape: preferred common name in the Inventory of Canadian Agricultural Weeds (2003).

OBS

Oregon-grape: common name also used to refer to the genus Mahonia.

Since many species that belong to the genera Mahonia and Berberis have similar characteristics, these genera are often combined. However, the Inventory of Canadian Agricultural Weeds (2003) keeps them separate because Mahonia is known for its resistance to Puccinia (fungus).

OBS

mahonia à feuilles de houx : nom utilisé dans l'Inventaire des mauvaises herbes du Canada (2003).

OBS

Les genres Mahonia et Berberis sont souvent réunis, parce que de nombreuses espèces présentent divers caractères semblables. Dans l'Inventaire des mauvaises herbes du Canada (2003) on préfère considérer qu'il s'agit de genres distincts, car le genre Mahonia est souvent noté pour sa résistance au Puccinia (champignon).
