RANUNCULACEA:. 
CLEMATIS FLAMMULA.

In the arboretum, Barton. Quite hardy. This © 
year (1861) it continued in blossom till the 
beginning of November. 
CLEMATIS ORIENTALIS. 
Loudon, v. 1, 234% 
A flourishing plant in the Arboretum here, 
against a wall; has stood for many years, seems 
to be perfettly hardy, flowers abundantly every 
year, in July and August, and produces its long 
tailed feathery fruit, but I doubt whether the seeds 
are really ripened. Its delicately glaucous foliage, 
and the peculiar colour of its flowers (a very 
peculiar tint of yellow), give it a well marked and 
aereeable appearance. * 
This Clematis in a wild state is distributed, 
according to J. D. Hooker and Thompson through 
the whole of temperatet Asia as far East as 
Cashmere. They characterize it as a widely 
diffused and extremely variable species.f ‘The 
shape of the sepals, and the form and pubescence 
of the stamens are the same in all the forms; but 
the size of the flowers, and the shape of the leaves 
are very variable.” Clematis glauca (Loudon p. 235) 
is one of the varieties of Orientalis. 
* This plant died some years ago (from what cause I know not), and has 
not been replaced, (1873).
