The Mahonia Lomariifolia ( Mahonia lomariifolia ) is a plant from the family of Barberry (Berberidaceae). It is originally from Myanmar and West China . The name refers to a certain similarity of the leaves of this species with the leaves of rib ferns (genus Blechnum , synonym Lomaria , with the common rib fern ( Blechnum spicant ) as the only species in Europe); accordingly, lomari leaved means rib fern leaved .
