" Clematis montana Buch. is a somewhat polymorphic species widely spread 

 in the Himalaya Mountains and in the mountains of western and central China. 

 Var. wilsonii appears to be most nearly allied to a variety of C. montana from 

 Hupeh with pink flowers, but, in addition to having white in place of pink sepals, 

 the variety wilsonii differs from the variety ruhens of our gardens in having less 

 deeply cut leaflets. Like other members of the genus, C. montana var. wilsonii 

 thrives in a rich, loamy soil which is all the better if of a calcareous nature. 

 At Kew, where no lime is actually present in the soil, it is found very advanta- 

 geous to many species of Clematis if slaked lime be added . Like the other varie- 

 ties of C. montana, our plant produces its flowers from the nodes of the previous 

 season's growth; it should therefore only be pruned after the flowers are past, 

 and the shortening back of the shoots during the winter, so useful in the case 

 of most Clematis, must here be avoided. Propagation can be readily effected 

 by means of cuttings. The garden value of this variety is enhanced by the fact 

 that it flowers at least two months later than the typical C. montana and about 

 six weeks later than the variety ruhens. The form is distinguished from the 

 variety by its broadly obovate, rounded, or truncate sepals ; the flowers are very 

 round in shape and produced at the same time as the leaves." {Botanical
