Berberis nervosa, commonly known as dwarf Oregon-grape, Cascade barberry, Cascade Oregon-grape, or dull Oregon-grape, is a flowering plant native to the northwest coast of North America from southern British Columbia south to central California, with an isolated population inland in northern Idaho.[2][3][4] It is especially common in second growth, Douglas-fir[5] or western redcedar forests, making use of those pools of sunlight that intermittently reach the ground.
The plant was collected by Lewis and Clark during their famous expedition to the West before being described for western science by Frederick T. Pursh in 1813.[6][7]
