Our drawing of this rare fpecies of Clematis, a native or 

 the Ifland of Minorca, was taken at Mr. Malcolm's nurfery 

 at Kenfington. It requires the protection of a good green- 

 houfe. Produces its flowers in the winter. Propagated by 

 layers with difficulty. Introduced to the Royal Garden at 

 Kew, in 1783, by M. Thouin.
