 The annexed figure, kindly placed at our disposal by Messrs. E. G. Henderson and 

 Sons, gives some idea of the character of the individual flowers. The following is 

 the account given of it in Moore and Jackman's recent book, The Clematis as a 

 Garden Flower : — " This variety is of French origin, having been obtained by M. 

 Victor Lemoine, of Nancy, from C. pateiis crossed with C. Fortunei. From the 

 coloured figure and description distributed by the raiser, it would appear to have 



the ternate leaves and cordate-ovate leaflets of C. lanuginosa, and double flowers, 

 which in fonii are said to most closely resemble those of the variety named 

 C. Joliii Gould Veitch, but to be still more double and symmetrical, the individual 

 blossoms measuring four and a half to five inches across, and when fully expanded 

 reminding one of a double white Zinnia. They are quite white, and do not 

 show the greenish tint which is seen in C. Fu?-tunci" It is, no doubt, a fine 

 double white Clematis. — T. M,
