Descr. Stems climbing, fhrubby, but with us dying down 

 to the ground every winter, furrowed. Leaves pinnate : upper 

 ones fimple. Leaflets oblong- ovate, narrowed at both ex- 

 tremities, fmootb, beautifully veined when held to the light, 

 petiolated, fometimes deformedly lobate, but hardly ever tcr- 

 natc. Peduncles terminal, longer than the leaves, really f>-

 appear, one on each fide, at the fame time with the terminal 

 flower ; yet it is afterwards evident that thefe are fide flioots, 

 bearing a flower at the extremity, as one or two pair of leaves 

 grow from them, while the true peduncle is naked. We have

 the Botanift's Repofitory. Corolla cernuous, fomewhat leathery, 

 tmt not nearly fo thick as that of Clematis Viorna % cylin- 

 drical : petals lanceolate, curled at the edge towards the point
