This species has dimorphic leaves, simply ternate and bi-ternate ; while 

 Cimicifuga japonica Spreog. bears always simply ternate leaves ; they often 

 appear on the same stock the superior ones being simply ternate and the 

 inferior bi-ternate, but sometimes only either one of them can appear on 

 the same stock ; the bi-ternate leaves are the typical form of the two, and 

 there various gradations between them exist. The leaves are duller and 

 more blunt than those of C. japonica Spreng. This is probably a variety 

 of C. japonica Spreng., as Maximowicz considered it to be so.
