Berberis swaseyi[3] (Texas barberry)[4] is a rare species of barberry endemic to the Edwards Plateau region of Texas. It grows in limestone ridges and canyons. The species is evergreen, with thick, rigid, 5-9-foliolate leaves. Berries are dry or juicy, white to red, about 9-16 mm in diam.[5][6]
The compound leaves place this species in the group sometimes segregated as the genus Mahonia.[5][7][8][9]
