- Comments
- Compared with "true" berberifolia of LA and TX, Eastern plants exhibit a wide range of variation in pubescence suggesting possible introgression with C. crus-galli (R.W. Lance, pes. comm.). The species is poorly known in Virginia, lacking in unifying habitat or geographical affiliation.
- Habitat
- Open, mixed hardwood and pine forests and successional shrublands; in Pittsylvania Co., the species is found in thinly-canopied portions of a dry, oak-hickory-red cedar forest on a SE-facing slope above the Banister River. Rare; known only from Fairfax and Pittsylvania counties and Virginia Beach City.
