leaflets are all characteristic, and the condition of the fruit, 
which we have not seen more than three-guarters ripe, 
is not at variance with it. It has been reintroduced to 
gardens by Messrs. Maule and Sons of the Stapleton Road 
Nurseries, Bristol, to whom we are indebted for our specimens. 
It was raised by them from North American seeds marked 
“ A new sweet-scented Clematis,” and it well deserves that name, 
for its fragrance is most agreeable especially towards evening. 
It flowers incessantly during all the summer, that is to say from 
May to October, and it seems likely to go on blooming as long 
as it remains in a growing state ; on account of its constant 
flowering we had called it C. semperflorens, until we ascer- 
tained that it was the real old long lost C. crispa. It is in 
all respects a charming hardy species. 
The conclusion to which the previous discussion leads 
may be briefly stated thus :— 
The true C. Viorna is that of Jacquin. 
C. reticulata bears also the names of C. cordata, crispa, 
and Simsii. 
C. cylindrica, as figured in the Botanical Magazine, is a 
doubtful species, open to future enguiry. 
C. crispa is quite distinct from the preceding, and is the 
plant now figured. 
Moreover C. crispa of the Botanical Magazine is C. reti- 
culata, if anything. C. cordata of the same work is certainly 
reticulata. C. Viorna of the Botanist's Repository is C. 
Hendersoni. C. Simsii is C. reticulata. C. reticulata of 
the Botanist's Repository is a Viticella. C. divaricata does 
not even belong to the division of the genus now under con- 
sideration, although guoted to C. cylindrica.
