331. Cle]matis grayeolens. Lindley, A hardy climber from the north of India. Leaves pale 
green, deciduous, Flowers greenish yellow, heavy-scented. Ilowers in the middle of summer. 
(Fig. 167.) 
This pretty little plant was raised in the garden of the Horticultural Society, from seeds collected by Captain William 
Munro, in Chinese Tartary, and the Snowy Passes, at an elevation of 12,000 feet. In cultivation it proves to be a small 
slender climbing species, perfectly destitute of 
hairiness, except on the calyx and fruit. The 
leaves have very small ovate, three-lobed, leaflets, 
and long straggling footstalks. The flowers are 
solitary, at or near the extremity of the branches, 
pale yellow, rather pretty, but emitting a heavy 
smell, which, in a greenhouse, is more disagree- 
able than pleasant, but is not observed in the 
open air. It proves to be perfectly hardy in the 
good 
severest winters 
; grows freely in any 
loamy soO, and is easily increased by cuttings. 
The seed was sown in the garden of the Horti- 
cultural Society on the 17th of May, 1S45; and 
the plant was in flower by the end of July, 1846.

We have only seen a solitary flower of this plant, which bears in some gardens in the North of England the name of 
Scuticaria Hadwcnii. According to Mr. Wm. Pass, of Macclesfield, from whom the specunen came, " Mr. Hadwen was 
the first to receive the plant from Mr. de Becca, of Rio de Janeiro, who has since sent it to Mr. Brocklehurst. Tlie 
habit of the plant is very distinct from Scuticaria Steelii, having leaves or stems not more than twelve to fourteen indies 
long, which gives it the appearance of a Brassavola. From what I ieam, the flowers are solitary and on long stems like
