Mahonia Fortunei, Fedde, has leaves with 3-6 pairs of 
narrow leaflets, the terminal leaflet being inserted between the 
uppermost pair. Mahonia confusa has 6-9 pairs of leaflets, and the 
terminal leaflet is separated from the uppermost pair by an inter- 
node of the rhachis. It is singular that the two species should have 
been confused, since the insertion of the terminal leaflet has been 
used in the key to the species given by Fedde in Engl. Jahrb. vol.
