Cathy,
Afghan Lilac is Syringa protolaciniata.
Cut Leaf Lilac is Syringa x laciniata; S. protolaciniata is one of its
parents.
Here's a gallery picture of the flower, but you can also see a bit of the
leaves too:

Try this for more of the leaf:

Here's a description and picture of flower(only) of Syringa x tribida
'Josee'
http://snipurl.com/eukx
They don't mention how tiny the leaves are. This picture may help:

If you google, you may find 'Josee' listed as a cultivar of other species
names, but I believe them to be mistakes.  They are either guesses or the
writer has chosen to use one of the species parents as the species for
Josee.  It's one of those complicated things.  BTW, I managed to
successfully grow on 2 cuttings and will try again this year.  If I
eventually get this figured out, I will share.
