This species has been already fifrured and noticed by us (Vol. 

 XII. p. 358.), as C. azurea grandlflora Svot. ; and to the inform- 

 ation there given we add the following from Dr. Lindley: — 

 " This is a charming addition to the climbers cultivated in Eno;- 

 land : it has a most graceful mode of growth ; and the large 

 violet flowers, with deep purple stamens, are more ornamental 

 than those of any species of Clematis yet in this country. It is 

 nearly related to C. florida, from which it differs not only in the 

 colour, delicacy, and transparency of its blossoms, but also in 

 its leaves being only once ternate, and in the sepals not touching 

 and overlapping each other at the edges." It was introduced 

 into European gardens by Dr. Van Sieboldt ; and Messrs. Low 

 and Co. of Clapton received this species, with another very 

 distinct one, called bicolor or Sieboldt/, from Belgium in the 

 spring of 1836. "It is a free-growing and profuse blooming 

 plant, and will prove a great accession to our hardy climbers."

 says, that " the plant was raised from seeds obtained from the 

 Royal Botanic Garden at Naples." It comes near to C. elon- 

 gatus ; but it is altogether a larger plant, and the glabrous pods
