Berberis gracilipes was initially scientifically described and named by Daniel Oliver.[1][3] As a part of the classification of some of genus Berberis as part of a separate genus Mahonia Friedrich Karl Georg Fedde renamed it as Mahonia gracilipes in 1901.[1][4] A paper was published by Joseph Edward Laferrière in 1997 summarized the arguments for Mahonia being more properly classified as a synonym of Berberis. As of 2023 this is the most common classification by botanists.[1][5]
