Which of the following is a type of Beautyberry?

Beautyberry refers to plants that belong to the genus Callicarpa. This genus is known for its attractive berries, particularly the striking purple or pink fruits that are produced in clusters along the stems during the fall, which are visually appealing and can add aesthetic value to gardens and landscapes. Callicarpa species are often used in ornamental horticulture due to their colorful berries and attractive foliage.

The other options present plants from different genera. For example, Berberis julianae is a type of barberry, and it is known for its thorny stems and yellow flowers, producing red berries, but it does not belong to the Beautyberry category. Buddleja davidii, commonly known as butterfly bush, is recognized for its fragrant flowers that attract butterflies, but again it is not related to Beautyberries. Aesculus parviflora, known as the bottlebrush buckeye, is a flowering shrub noted for its showy flowers and distinctive growth habit, and it too is not classified as a Beautyberry. All these plants illustrate the diversity of shrubs commonly found in North Carolina, yet only the species within the genus Callicarpa qualify as Beautyberries.
