|discussion=<p><i>Berberis</i> sonnei was described based on plants with relatively narrow, rather shiny leaflets collected by Sonne in Truckee, California. Subsequent collections from this population show the morphology typical of <i>B. repens</i>; Sonne's collections evidently are an aberrant form of this species.</p><!--
--><p><i>Berberis repens</i> is resistant to infection by Puccinia graminis.</p><!--
--><p>Various Native American tribes used preparations of the roots of <i>Berberis repens</i> to treat stomach troubles, to prevent bloody dysentary, and as a blood purifier; mixed with whiskey, it was used for bladder problems, venereal diseases, general aches, and kidney problems; and preparations made from the entire plant served as a cure-all and as a lotion for scorpion bites (D. E. Moermann 1986).</p>
