Closely relatcd to Slahonia Japonica (Thg.) DC, but separable from it by 

 the much broader leaflets and by the pctals wliich are in oiir species mucli 

 broader and more deeply lobed at the aiicx, than iu the Japanese. Tlie lobes 

 of the petals of 3T. japonica are smallcr and slightly acutc, whilc thosc of oiir 

 siiecies are largcr and quite obtusc at thc apex.
