Advice needed on translucent leaves

I purchased a set of plants but it was a 3ds Max file rendered with Vray. I converted the Max project to a Maya project and used the Arnold 'convert shaders to Arnold' feature in the Arnold Shader menu. Not getting anything similar to the original file. Where do the Glossy files plug into in Arnold?

 

I am trying to achieve the translucent look of the leaves in the attached image but everything I have tried with Transmission, Opacity or  Subsurface doesn't come close.  Any lighting experts that can help out? Thanks.

Thanks. Got a little closer but using the 'thin-walled' seems to make the translucency too even.
