CLEMATIS 



9. crasBifdlia, Benth. Climbing : Its. coriaceous, 

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

 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.

10. Meyeni^na, Walp. Climbing rapidly, more hardy 

 than C. crassifotia: Ivs. much the same, but with the 

 segments obtuse or cordate at the base ; fls. much as in 

 that species, but with the anthers longer than the fila- 

 ments. Late summer. China. 



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

 the preceding. 



11. orientillis, Linn. (C. graveolens, Lindl.). A rapid 

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

 twice or thrice temate ; Ifts. 3-parted or -lobed, with 

 small, ovate, entire or cut-toothed divisions : fls. solitary, 

 becoming erect or nearly so, VA in. across; sepals 4, yel- 

 low, tinted with green, somewhat reflexed ; styles plu- 

 mose. Aug.- Sept. Himalaya region. Lav. 21. Figured
