CLEMATIS, MOCK: Agdestis clematidea. 



CLEMATOCLETHRA (Clematis and clethra, refer- 

 ring to the similarity of the flower to that of Clethra 

 and to the climbing habit). Dillenidceas. Shrubs 

 grown for the profusely produced fragrant flowers and 

 the attractive black or red berries. 



Deciduous slimbing plants: branches with solid 

 pith: winter-buds conspicuous, free, with several 

 imbricate scales: Ivs. petioled, usually serrate: fls. in 

 axillary cymes or panicles, sometimes solitary, white; 

 sepals 5, imbricate, persistent; petals 5, imbricate; 

 stamens 10, short; ovary 5-celled, each cell with 10 

 ovules; style simple, cylindric: fr. berry-like, with 

 thin flesh, subglobose, usually 5-seeded. About 12 

 species in Cent, and W. China. Closely allied' to 

 Actinidia which is easily distinguished by its numerous 

 stamens, many styles, many-seeded fr. and in the win- 

 ter state by its winter-buds being hidden by a swelling 

 of the tissue around their base. Several species have 

 been recently intro., but the names of most of them 

 have not yet been determined. They are apparently 

 hardier than the Chinese actinidias and superior from 

 an ornamental point of view on account of their pro- 

 fusely produced fls. and frs. though the foliage as a rule 

 is smaller and not quite so handsome. Prop, by seeds 

 and probably, like actinidias, by greenwood cuttings 

 in summer and also by hardwood cuttings and layers.
