|discussion=<p><i>Berberis dictyota</i>, <i>B. amplectens</i>, <i>B. pumila</i>, and <i>B. wilcoxii</i> are very similar, and the characters that separate them (height, glossiness and crispation of leaflets, and size and number of marginal teeth) are rather variable within the species. <i>Berberis piperiana</i> also belongs to this group, although it is usually more distinct because of its thinner leaflets with more slender, more numerous marginal spines.</p><!--
--><p><i>Berberis dictyota</i> is resistant to infection by Puccinia graminis.</p><!--
--><p>Medicinally, the Kawaiisu used a decoction of the root of <i>Berberis dictyota</i> to treat gonorrhea (D. E. Moermann 1986).</p>
