that at Montreal, Kent. 
Spec. Char., &c. Peduncles 1-flowered, not bracteated, several together. 
Leaves ternately parted, the segments ovate-oblong, acuminate, toothed, the 
teeth in the mode of incisions. Sepals elliptic-oblong, mucronulate, spread- 
ing. (D.Don.) A deciduous climber. Himalayan Mountains at 5000 ft. 
to 7000 ft. elevation. Height 10 ft. to 15 ft., or in sheltered situations 
30 ft. to 50 ft. Introduced in 1831. Flowers white; April in Nepal, 
May in England. Fruit white; ripe in August. Decaying foliage brown, 
and dropping more freely than in most of the other kinds, 
A highly ornamental species. The plant is large and 
branching ; the bark thick, ash-coloured, and de- 
ciduous. Leaves numerous, pale green. Flowers 
numerous, about the size 
and form of those of Ane- 
mone sylvéstris L., borne 
several together, each upon 
a separate, upright, slender 
peduncle, about 3 in, long. 
Sepals 4, lin. long, pure 
white, faintly stained with 
pink outside at the base. 
Styles clothed with long 
white silky hairs ; from 
which it may be inferred 
that this species will have 
its fruits terminated with feathery tails, in a state of 
maturity. In the climate of England it proves to be 
quite hardy, and seems to flourish as well as on its 
native mountains. It grows with great vigour in a ‘ 
loamy soil, flowers profusely early in the season, and 25. Clématis montana. 
is readily increased by layers. A very desirable species. 
Other Species of Clématis.— There are several other species of Clématis 
described in books, some of them as introduced, and others as not yet in 
cultivation in Britain ; but we have refrained from describing any species of 
which we have not seen living plants. In Torrey and Gray’s Flora of North 
America, C. hulosericea Pursh, C. ligusticifolia Nutt., C. Drumméadit Tor. 5; 
Gray, C. parviflora Nutt., G lasiantha Nutt., C. Jineariloba Dec., and C. 
Pitcheri Tor. § Gray, are described as woody species, none of which, even 
by name, are yet in British gardens. C. pubéscens, vitifolia, Buchaniana, and 
some others, mentioned by Drs. Wallich and Royle, are yet to introduce 
from the limalayas; and there are several names in DeCandolle’s Prodromus 
of which living plants are not in our gardens. 
24. Clématis montana.
