12 ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM. 
or purple; July to September. Fruit white; ripe in October. Decaying 
foliage black or brown. 
Varieties. 
4 C. V. 1 cerilea, — Flowers blue. 
4 C. V. 2 purpurea. — Flowers purple. 
2 C. V. 3 miltipler G. Don. C. pulchélla Pers. — Flowers double, blue. 
This variety produces more robust, more extended, and fewer shoots, 
than the single-flowered blue or purple varieties. 
AC. V7.4 tenuifolia Dec., C. tenuifolia lusitanica Tourn. ; and 
A C. VY. 5 baccata Dec., C. campanifléra Hort.; are varieties which we 
have not seen. 
C. Viticélla, and all its varieties, are 
tolerably robust and vigorous in their 
growth, and decidedly ligneous; though 
plants, individually, do not endure many 
years. They are, perhaps, the most beau- 
tiful and most estimable of all the kinds 
of clematis, for the purposes of floral de- 
coration. For the mere covering of bowers 
and other objects, they are, however, less (= 
suited than C. Vitalba and C. Flammula; as 
these grow faster, extend farther, and each 
yields a greater aggregate of herbage, and 
so covers better: but none of them can 
vie with C. Viticélla and its varieties in N 
beauty; more especially with the single gos Gases 
purple and the single blue. ; :
