Clematis* chlorantha. Green-flowered Clematis.

*Κλημα is the young scrambling shoot of the vine: hence the Greeks formed κληματϊζ, as the name of the Periwinkle; which moderns have misapplied to the genus now bearing the name of Clematis. Chlorantha is from χλωρόζ, pale green, and ανϑόζ, a flower.

C. chlorantha; pedunculis unifloris, sepalis oblongis campanulatis tomentosis, foliis pinnatis; foliolis ovatis acuminatis serratis memnranaceis subpilosis, caule scandente piloso....

A native of Sierra Leone, whence seeds were sent to the Horticultural Society by Mr. George Don, in 1823. It is a tender, rather delicate, stove climber, not flowering very readily. Our drawing was made in the Chiswick Garden, in August 1827.
Stem slender, climbing to a great length, striated, when young hairy. Leaves pale green, membraneous, somewhat hairy, pinnated, with tortuous petioles; leaflets ovate, or ovate-oblong, acuminate, unequally serrated; the serratures diverging and apiculate. Flowers solitary, campanulate, pale yellowish green; peduncles slender, shorter than the leaves, tomentose, with two little bractae towards the base. Sepals oblong, downy. Stamens hairy. J. L.
