The wasp varieties are very interesting plants.

There was an article reprinted in the May-June of 2003 volume 56 about Jimmy Dates in the AVSA Magazine, it's well worth reading if you can get your hands on one.

If you would like an Article you can visit http://www.avsa.org/  You can purchase the article. 

I cannot send you a copy because of the copy right law, which I respect.

They call these types of leaves Compound or Bustled leaves, because there is a second group of leaves growing from the base of the leaf. I love these plants they are so, so interesting to me.
