ON SOME CRITICAL CHINESE SPECIES OF CLEMATIS. 
By Francis Buackwett Forses, F.L.S. 
To the student of the Eastern Asiatic species of Clematis the 
‘Conspectus’ by M. Maximowicz* has been the best guide since it 
Was published in 1876 with a 25 care and judgment 
which ee all the writings of that eminent botanist. 
There were, however, several visi as 4 which he was obliged to 
express jlimadlt doubtfully, and the present at is an attempt to 
Province of Chekiang, and is now at the British Museum. It ha 
apparently not been seen by Mr. Bentham when he alluded to the 
Species (by a printer's error as C. ternifolia) in the ‘ Flora Hong- 
ongensis,’ Pp. 7, nor by M. Maximowicz when he published his 
‘Conspectus.’ Having come across the type some months ago, I 
saw that to had been a shibapprehension, and I forwarded to M. 
Maximowiez an excellent drawing made for me by Mr. Morgan.
