The leaves are alternate, leathery, and compound paripinnate ( no terminal leaflet ) with five or six pairs of deep-green leaflets.

Leaflet stalk 1 to 4 mm long, but the terminal leaflet has a longer stem, occasionally over 15 to 30 mm.
23.
Leaves are pinnately compound with 4-7 pairs of leaflets plus a larger terminal leaflet, all lanceolate with teeth along the margins.
24.
The leaves have more leaflets than most species of Mahonia, usually up to 14-20 pairs of leaflets, with an additional terminal leaflet.
25.
Leaves are up to 70 cm long, with 4-9 pairs of leaflets plus a larger terminal leaflet, all shiny above, yellowish-green below.
26.
The leaves are each divided into several leaflets, with one long terminal leaflet and a few smaller ones widely spaced on each side.
27.
The leaves are 10 30 cm long, pinnate, with 3-6 pairs of leaflets, the terminal leaflet absent; each leaflet is 5 15 cm long.
28.
The leaves are trifoliate with a large terminal leaflet and two small side leaflets, bluntly toothed, and, as with most Commiphoras, pleasantly aromatic when crushed.
29.
The leaves are waxy glaucous green, 5 10 cm long, pinnate, with 2-5 pairs of leaflets, the terminal leaflet usually replaced by a twining tendril.

The leaves are trifoliate ( with three leaflets ), 7 22 cm ( 2.8-8.8 inches ) long, the terminal leaflet larger than the two side leaflets.
