The wild form differs from the cultivated garden forms chiefly in the 

 broader and smaller leaflets rounded or broadly cuneate at the base and 

 pilose on the nerves beneath, particularly toward the base of the leaflets. 

 It also produces suckers freely, while the cultivated forms do not sucker. 

 From the nomenclatorial type of the species which is P. suffruticosa var. 

 rosea Bailey it further differs in the smaller flowers with fewer petals, but 

 a plant of the wild form introduced by Purdom into cultivation which 

 has flowered in the garden of Professor C. S. Sargent had larger flowers 

 and more petals than the wild specimens. The disk is very high and en- 

 velops the carpels entirely up to the stigmas.

A form with purple, nearly single flowers which seem to come nearest 



to the wild form.

This new hybrid was raised by V. Lemoine & Fils, of Nancy, about 1900 

 and " La Lorraine " flowered for the first time in 1904. The form " I'Es- 

 perance " may serve as the type of this hybrid which in general appearance 

 and in foliage resembles P. suffruticosa^ but the large flowers which measure 

 up to 20 cm. across, are yellow and the 8-10 petals have a carmine blotch 

 at the base; the filaments are red. "La Lorraine" has double yellow 

 flowers with a salmon tinge when opening. 



X Clematis Morelii, nom. nov. (C Simsii X texensis). — C. Pitcheri 

 X coccinea Andre in Rev. Ilort. 1893, 376, tab. 



A handsome hybrid intermediate betw^een the parents, w^iLli campanulate 

 flowers of violet-purple color, in shape resembling those of C Simsii, but 

 with sepals not so much recurved at the apex. It was raised before 1893 by 

 F. Morel of Lyon, France.

A complete enumeration of the synonyms of this variety is given here, 

 because in Bailey's Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture I had used the 

 varietal name bicolor which has to give way to the older, but generally over- 

 looked combination of Swxet.
