General description
"Grows on hedges throughout Britain. According to Prof. Henslow it was thought by farmers in the middle of the last (19th) century, that barberry blighted wheat if it grew near the hedge. Botanists thought the idea ridiculous, yet the farmers are right. Their observations consisted of the occurrence of rust in the wheat grown closely to barberry, which extended steadily across the whole crop."
