\Bar"ber*ry\, n. [OE. barbarin, barbere, OF. berbere.]
(Bot.)
A shrub of the genus
Berberis, common along roadsides and
in neglected fields.
Berberis vulgaris is the species best
known; its oblong red berries are made into a preserve or
sauce, and have been deemed efficacious in fluxes and fevers.
The bark dyes a fine yellow, esp. the bark of the root. [Also
