Barberry is an ornamental shrub whose fruit is edible. Barberry has
also been used as a medicinal herb. Here's some information about it:
"The Common Barberry, a well-known, bushy shrub, with pale-green
deciduous leaves... It is generally distributed over the greater part
of Europe, Northern Africa and temperate Asia. As an ornamental shrub,
it is fairly common in gardens...
The Barberry used to be cultivated for the sake of the fruit, which
was pickled and used for garnishing dishes. The ripe berries can be
made into an agreeable, refreshing jelly by boiling them with an equal
weight of fine sugar to a proper consistence and then straining it.
They were formerly used as a sweetmeat, and in sugar-plums, or
comfits. It is from these berries that the delicious confitures
d'epine vinette, for which Rouen is famous, are commonly prepared...
Medicinal Action and Uses---Tonic, purgative, antiseptic. It is used
in the form of a liquid extract, given as decoction, infusion or
tincture... It is used in all cases of jaundice, general debility and
biliousness, and for diarrhoea... It possesses febrifuge powers and is
used as a remedy for intermittent fevers. It also forms an excellent
gargle for a sore mouth."
