330 CLEMATIS 



9. craBsifblia, Benth. Climbing : Ivs. coriaceous, 

 3-parted; segments nearly entire, ovate-acuminate, witli 

 bases cuneate: fls. in small, axillary panicles; sepals 4, 

 spreading, dull or white ; anthers shorter than the fila- 

 ments. Late summer. China. — Suitable for greenhouse 

 use, but not yet well introduced. C. aristata, of B. R. 

 3:238. is a fair representation of this plant. 



488. Clematis Henryi. 



10. Meyeni4na, Walp. Climbing rapidly, more hardy 

 than O. crasslfolia ; Ivs. much the same, but with the 

 segments obtuse or cordate at the base : fls. much as m 

 that species, but with the anthers longer than the flla 

 ments. Late summer. China. 



EEE. Fls. perfect, yellow, and more spreading than 

 the preceding. 



11. orientalis, Linn. {O. graveolens, Lindl.). A rapid 

 climber, reaching 12-15 ft. : Ivs. thin, glaucous and shiny, 

 twice or thrice ternate ; Ifts. 3-pnrted or -lobed, with

 to this species, more than to any other, that the beauty 

 and popularity of the garden varieties and hybrids are 

 due. The finest hybrids, including <7.,/acA-»iani audits 

 section, and C Henryi, contain more or less of the blood 

 of C. lanuginosa. 



Lemoine (C. cdndida, Hort. ). Like the 

 tvpe, except that the simple Ivs and Ifts of the compound 

 Ivs are much larger and the tls are larger, bemg 7-8 in. 

 across —Perhaps a hybrid of C ctfrulea
