leaves 3-pinnate, leaflets lanceolate caudate entire or sometimes 
very slightly serrate, corymb peduncled large, flowers and fruits as

This was ear an accidental variety of L. sambucina with 
unusually entire ieailets 6 or it must have been a species that no 
leaflets elliptic acuminate a itves 6 on a the nerves beneath, pfinoe =

specimen; it was nh Heb: Bentham, and there named L. robusta,

not near L. robusta or L. aspera.
