Comes closel}' to Clematis smilacifoUa 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 Clcwatis, the 

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

 while the anthers of the same series are the shortest.

This Clematis is very like C. Wight iann Waix. ; l)iit, owing to the 

 imperfectness of the specimen, the deternunation is rather conjectural.
