lOa. Fruit of Clematis cyllndrica. 



being not leather}*, but somewhat of the consistence 

 of paper, with the margin waved ; the ovaries 

 12-15, not 25-30. C. cylindrica differs from C. 

 reticulata in its leaves being in consistence papery, 

 not leathery ; scarcely veined, not reticulately 

 veined ; and in other points. C. cylindrica closely 

 resembles C. crispa in habit and mode of flower- 

 ing ; but differs from it in its sepals being waved 

 in the margin, not rolled backwards, in its larger 

 flowers, and especially in its carpels having long 

 bearded tails, and not naked ones. C. Viorna 

 and C. cylindrica, seen together in a living state, 

 are very dissimilar in appearance. C. Viorna has vigorous long branches ana 

 reddish flowers, which are acorn-hke in figure, except that they have a spread- 

 ing mouth ; there is also obvious dissimilarity in the foliage and shoots, C. 

 cylindrica being almost herbaceous.

Spec. Char., ^-c. Peduncles 1-flowered. Sepal 

 connivent. Leaves coriaceous, netted with 

 nerves, smooth, pinnate ; leaflets stalked, 3- 

 lobed or entire, ovate. (Don's Mill.) A de- 

 ciduous climber. S. Carolina and Georgia. 

 Height 6 ft. to 8 ft. Introduced in 1812. Flow- 

 ers pale purplish red ; June to August. Fruit 

 white ; ripe in September. 



Leaflets all petiolulate, 1 in. to H in. long, 

 undivided or variously lobed, the lowest pair 

 3-parted, sometimes rather acute and mucronate. 

 Peduncles longer than the leaves. Flowers 

 as large as in C. crispa. Sepals dull purple, 

 ovate-lanceolate, velvety externally. Tails of the 

 carpels long. (Tor. and Grai/,) In C. Viorna 

 the sepals do not divaricate, except in their 

 recurved tips ; while in C. reticulata the sepals 

 expand in the mode of those of C. Viticella. 

 A side view of a flower less expanded resembles 

 more the flower of C. cylindrica, but the cylin- 

 drical portion is shorter. The flowers (sepals) 

 of the two are different in colour. The leaves of C. reticulata are veined, 

 as is implied in the specific name. The stems are scarcely ligneous.

Engravings. Oar Jigs. 12. and 13. 



Spec. Char., %c. Peduncles 1-flowered, much longer than the petioles of the 

 leaves. Sepals long, wrinkled, reflexed. Leaves bipinnate, leaflets ovate- 

 acuminate. A deciduous climber. Hybrid. Height 8 ft. to 10 ft. Cult. 

 1835. Flowers bluish purple ; June to September. Fruit white. 



The stems and foliage bear a general resemblance to those of C. Viticella, 

 while the flowers, in magnitude and colour, and the leaflets in shape and 

 veining, resemble those of C. integrifolia ; but the sepals expand much 

 wider, in the manner of those of C. Viticella. This plant is apparently a 

 hybrid between C. Viticella and C. integrifolia, having the flowers of the latter, 

 and the leaves and stems of the former. It was raised by Mr. Henderson, 



11. CK^matis reliculita.
