being not leathery, 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 rekicaletely 
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. Vidrna — 1oa. Fruit of ciématis cylindrica. 
and C. cylindrica, seen together in a living state, 
are very dissimilar in appearance. C. Vidrna has vigorous long branches and 
reddish flowers, which are acorn-like 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.

connivent. Leaves coriaceous, netted with 
nerves, smooth, pinnate; leaflets stalked, 3- 
lobed or entire, ovate. (Don’s Mill.) <A de- 
ciduous climber. 8. Carolina and Georgia. 
Height 6 ft. to 8ft. Introduced in 1812. Flow- 
ers pale purplish red; June to August. Fruit 
white; ripe in September. 
Leaflets all petiolulate, 1 in. to 13 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. (Zor. and Gray.) In C. Vidrna 
the sepals do not divaricate, except in their 
recurved tips; while in C. reticulata the sepals 
expand in the mode of those of C. Viticélla. 
A side view of a flower less expanded resembles 
more the flower of C. cylindrica, ‘but the cylin- AY 
drical portion is shorter. The flowers (sepals) 11. Clematis reticulata. 
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.

The stems and foliage bear a general resemblance to those of C. Viticélla, 
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. Viticélla. This plant is apparently a 
hybrid between C. Viticélla and C. integrifolia, having the flowers of the latter, 
and the leaves and stems of the former. It was raised by Mr. Henderson,
