Comes closely to Clematis smUacifolla Wall., and still more to 

 the preceding species. The present species differs from them 

 in the shape of the bracts and stipules. In this new Cleniatix, the 

 filaments of the stamens of the outer-most series are the lonsest, 

 while the anthers of the same series are the shortest.

This Clematis is very like C. WigJitiami Wall. ; but, owing to the 

 imperfectness of the specimen, the determination is rather conjectural.
