Have been searching for an example to ascertain this species during the past year and have finally found specimens with the required tiny hairy tufts at the junctions of the veins on the undersides of the leaflets (second and third photos demonstrate these in macro photos). The vast majority of walnuts here are old nonnative cultivars and hybrids (which lack this feature).
