Machine translation, likeDeepL orGoogle Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

In some older treatments of the family, Berberidaceae only included four genera (Berberis, Epimedium, Mahonia, Vancouveria), with the other genera treated in separate families, Leonticaceae (Bongardia, Caulophyllum, Gymnospermium, Leontice), Nandinaceae (Nandina), and Podophyllaceae (Achlys, Diphylleia, Dysosma, Jeffersonia, Podophyllum, Ranzania, Sinopodophyllum).
Mahonia is very closely related toBerberis, and included in it by many botanists. However, recentDNA-basedphylogenetic research has reinstatedMahonia, though with a handful of species transferred into the newly described generaAlloberberis (formerlyMahonia sectionHorridae) andMoranothamnus (formerlyMahonia claireae).[3] Species ofMahonia andBerberis can behybridised, with the hybrids being classified in the genus× Mahoberberis.[4][5]
Diphyllaea is closely related to or perhaps embedded withinPodophyllum. Instead of the current trend to subdividePodophyllum into three genera (Podophyllum, plusDysosma andSinopodophyllum), inclusion ofDiphyllaea in a largerPodophyllum is equally warranted.
