Blinrworth gathered it in Kamaon, and Dr. Royle notices 

 it as prevalent in the Himalayan Mountains, at an elevation 

 of from 5,000 to 7,000 feet above the level of the sea. In 

 our country it flowers in early summer, and indeed, through 

 the month of September. In a few years it ought to 

 become a very general plant, for it strikes readily from 

 cuttings, and from layers. 



Descr. A large climber, with the habit of our own well- 

 known Traveller's Joy, having ternate leaves, and leaf- 

 lets not very dissimilar in form from that species ; but with 

 a very different inflorescence, and blossoms, especially in 

 our variety here given, nearly as large as those of Clematis 

 Jlorida. The petioles and peduncles spring in axillary clus- 

 ters or fascicles, and great numbers from one common 

 point. Leaflets ovate, acuminated, more or less incised, 

 generally with a lateral incision on each side, forming three 

 sharp points, sometimes also coarsely serrated, occasionally 

 entire. Flowers solitary on each peduncle. Sepals spread- 

 ing large, cream-coloured. Stamens and pistils greenish- 

 yellow.
