Yu sp. nov.</p><p>Fig. 2</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Berberis jiuzhaigouensis is morphologically similar to B. gilgiana and B. salicaria, particularly in leaf shape. However, it can be readily distinguished by its glabrous abaxial leaf surface – contrasting with the distinctly pubescent midrib of B. gilgiana (Suppl. material 1: fig. S 1 A) – and by its fascicled to sub-umbellate inflorescences, in contrast to the spike-like racemes characteristic of both B. gilgiana and B. salicaria .</p><p>Type.</p><p>China • Sichuan, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Jiuzhaigou County, Wujiao Town, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=104.17426&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=33.082066" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 104.17426/lat 33.082066)">Shengnanxin Village</a>, around the point 33.08206737°N, 104.17426166°E, alt. 1636 m, 16 Apr. 2023, YCC 415 (holotype: HITBC 0127178!; Suppl. material 2)</p><p>Description.</p><p>Shrubs, deciduous, to 1.5 m tall; mature stems brown or purplish-red, terete; spines 3 - fid, often solitary towards apex of stems, 0.2–1 cm, weak.
