This is a very handsome climber, approaching closely to my Clematis smilacifolia, which was published in 1820 in 

 Asiatic Researches, vol. xiii. p. 420. It difFers in having subpeltate, broad-cordate leaves, which in the other species 

 are simply cordate, without any tendency to being peltate ; in the panicles being shorter, and the leaflets of the 

 calyx being ovate, and not, as in the above-mentioned plant, linear-oblong.

The only spot where I found this charming shrub was at the foot of the hills at Trogla, about a mile from the 

 river Saluen in the province of Martaban. It varies considerably in size. I have seen it as high as six feet. It is 

 of a slender habit, with large deep-green, smooth, spreading leaves. The flowers are large, of a vivid red colour, 

 forming unilateral, spreading, and recurved racemes, which are disposed in a terminal panicle.
