Closely related to Mdlionia japonica (Tno.) DC., but separable from it by 

 the much broader leaflets and by the petals which are in our species much 

 broader and more deeply lobed at the apex, than in the Japanese. The lobes 

 of the petals of M. japonica are smaller and slightly acute, while those of our 

 species are larger and quite obtuse at the apex.
