HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Clematis heracleifolia DC.
This is a hardy, herbaceous, woody-based perennial of open habit with toothed, deeply 3-lobed leaves and scented, tubular, purple flowers, produced in whorled racemes in summer. [RHSE, Hortus, Don].
Horticultural & Botanical History
‘A handsome but singular-looking Clematis, with an upright, slightly branched stem, long petioled leaves, and clusters of blue flowers. These leaves have rather the appearance of some Actaea. It is a native of northern China, and has flowered in the greenhouse of the “United Gardeners’ Nursery Society”, King’s Road, Chelsea, under the care of Messrs. Weeks and Day, whence it was obligingly sent, in great beauty, by Mr. Makowski.’ [BM t.4269/1846].
Under the name C. tubulosa this plant was introduced to Britain in 1845 [JD] and first flowered in England in 1847 by the Horticultural Society.
History at Camden Park
Listed only in the 1857 catalogue [T.324/1857]. Obtained from Kew Gardens, brought out from England by Captain P. P. King in 1849. Believed by Macarthur to be new to the colony although he seems to have had some doubts about it as there is a question mark against it in the confirmatory list sent to King. [ML A1980-3]. Plants were sent to the Sydney Botanic Garden in 1853. [RBGS AB].

Clematis heracleifolia. — Tiges un peu plus flexueuses que dans les espèces précédentes sur lesquelles les fleurs de celle-ci ont surtout l'avantage de répandre une délicieuse odeur de fleur d’oranger au moment de leur épanouissement qui arrive en septembre-octobre. De toutes les Clématites, elle est la plus tardive à fleurir et peut-être la plus parfumée. Son feuillage est très richement étoffé et sa végétation un peu sarmenteuse réclame un appui. ....F. Morel

Comme complément M. Lavenir appelle l’attention sur quelques variétés de Clématites à floraison d’automne, 1° Clematis Flammula, fleurs très petites blanches, très odorantes le soir surtout. Clematis paniculata, plante très vigoureuse, fleurs beaucoup plus grandes que celles de l’espèce précédente, disposées en grandes panicules terminales, très odorantes, Clem. orientalis, robuste et vigoureuse espèce, en septembre nombreuses fleurs jaune vif de même forme et de même grandeur que celles du Clem. montana; parmi les espèces vivaces ou arbustives. Clem. tubulosa, Clem. heracleifolia dont les fleurs très agréablement parfumées, à odeur d’oranger ; Clem. gratta, ces deux dernières espèces formant des touffes de un mètre et plus de hauteur, leur place est donc toute indiquée en bordure des massifs d’arbustes.
