Mahonia is a genus of about 70 species of evergreen shrubs found in woodlands and rocky areas of the Himalayas, East Asia, and Central and North America.  In the UK is is commonly cultivated for its yellow fragrant Lily of the Valley- like flowers and its attractive green foliage. Mahonia produces edible berries which are also known as Oregon grape. Apparently they are good to eat, but contain a lot of seeds!
