Should the species name in EASIN Catalogue be changed to Berberis aquifolium? https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=18816#null

Although in the Euro+Med Plantbase, a database concerning the flora of the European and Mediterranean countries, the accepted name is Mahonia aquifolium (Pursh) Nutt., we should follow the APG IV (which also coincides with the Plant List and the flora of North America), where the valid name is Berberis aquifolium Pursh. and Mahonia aquifolium (Pursh) Nutt. is given as a synonym.

Considering the EB expert evaluation the name of the species must be changed to Berberis aquifolium in the EASIN Catalogue.
