ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM URITANNICUM. 



Clematis Viticella. 



or purple; July to September. Fruit white; ripe in October. Decaying 

 foliage black or brown. 



Varieties. 



-A C. V. 1 cesrulea. Flowers blue. 



-1 C. V. 2 purpurea. Flowers purple. 



A C. V. 3 multiplex Gr. Don. C. pulchella Pers. Flowers double, blue.- 



This variety produces more robust, more extended, and fewer snoots, 



than the single-flowered blue or purple varieties, 

 -i C. F. 4 tenuifolia Dec., C. tenuifolia lusitanica Tourn. ; and 

 -i C. V. 5 baccdta Dec., C. campaniflora Hort. ; are varieties which we 



have not seen. 



C. Viticella, and all its varieties, are 

 tolerably robust and vigorous in their 

 growth, and decidedly ligneous ; though 

 plants, individually, do not endure many 

 years. They are, perhaps, the most beau- 

 tiful and most estimable of all the kinds 

 of clematis, for the purposes of floral de- 

 coration. For the mere covering of bowers 

 and other objects, they are, however, less! 

 suited than C. Vitalba and C. Flammula; as 

 these grow faster, extend farther, and each 



yields a greater aggregate of herbage, and "" "" w 7^^^ if 



so covers better : but none of them can ^-^jl^zxP' ^^K 



vie with C. Viticella and its varieties in \n^(fe // 



beauty; more especially with the single 

 purple and the single blue.
