Clematis
''Clematis'' is a genus of about 380 species within the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. Their garden hybrids and cultivars have been popular among gardeners, beginning with ''Clematis'' 'Jackmanii', a garden staple since 1862; more cultivars are being produced constantly. They are mainly of Chinese and Japanese origin. Species names Most species are known as clematis in English, while some are also known as: * traveller's joy, a name invented for the sole British native, '' C. vitalba'', by the herbalist John Gerard; * virgin's bower for '' C. terniflora'', '' C. virginiana'', and '' C. viticella''; * old man's beard, applied to several with prominent seedheads; * leather flower for those with fleshy petals; or vase vine for the North American ''Clematis viorna''. Etymology The genus name ''Clematis'' is from Ancient Greek κληματίς : ''clēmatís,'' ("a climbing plant") from κλήμα : ''klḗma'' – 'twig, sprout, tendril'. Botany The genus is composed of mostly ...

List Of Clematis Species
The following species in the flowering plant genus ''Clematis'' are accepted by Plants of the World Online. Although the genus is currently most diverse in warm temperate regions and mountainous habitats, molecular evidence suggests that this is of recent origin, and earlier diversification occurred in more tropical climes. *'' Clematis acapulcensis'' *'' Clematis acerifolia'' *'' Clematis actinostemmatifolia'' *'' Clematis acuminata'' *'' Clematis acutangula'' *'' Clematis addisonii'' *'' Clematis aethusifolia'' *'' Clematis affinis'' *''Clematis afoliata'' *'' Clematis africolineariloba'' *'' Clematis akebioides'' *'' Clematis akoensis'' *'' Clematis albicoma'' *'' Clematis alborosea'' *'' Clematis alpina'' *''Clematis alternata'' *'' Clematis andersonii'' *'' Clematis antonii'' *'' Clematis apiculata'' *'' Clematis apiifolia'' *'' Clematis archboldiana'' *''Clematis aristata'' *'' Clematis armandi'' *'' Clematis aureolata'' *'' Clematis austroanatolica'' ...

Clematis Terniflora
''Clematis terniflora'' (sweet autumn clematis, sweet autumn virginsbower) is a plant in the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae Ranunculaceae (, buttercup or crowfoot family; Latin "little frog", from "frog") is a family (biology), family of over 2,000 known species of flowering plants in 43 genera, distributed worldwide. The largest genera are ''Ranunculus'' (600 spec .... It is native to northeastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Siberia and Taiwan). It was introduced into the United States in the late 1800s as an ornamental garden plant, and has naturalized in many of the eastern states. It is considered a Category II invasive plant in north and central Florida and some other eastern states, meaning it is invading native plant communities but is not yet seen as displacing native species.

Clematis Vitalba
''Clematis vitalba'' (also known as old man's beard and traveller's joy) is a shrub of the family Ranunculaceae. Description ''Clematis vitalba'' is a climbing shrub with branched, grooved Plant stem, stems, deciduous leaves, and scented greeny-white flowers with fluffy underlying sepals. The many fruits formed in each inflorescence have long silky appendages which, seen together, give the characteristic appearance of ''old man's beard''. The grooves along the stems of ''C. vitalba'' can easily be felt when handling the plant. This species is eaten by the larvae of a wide range of moths. This includes many species which are reliant on it as their sole foodplant; including small emerald, small waved umber and Haworth's pug. Range ''C. vitalba'' has a preference for base rich alkaline soils and moist climate with warm summers. The species is native to Eurasia and North Africa. United Kingdom In the UK it is a native plant and is common throughout England south of a line from th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clematis 'Jackmanii'
''Clematis'' 'Jackmanii is a ''Clematis'' cultivar which, when it was introduced in 1862, was the first of the modern large-flowered hybrid clematises of gardens. It is a climber with large violet-purple blooms, still among the most familiar climbers seen in gardens. It was produced from crosses made by the prominent nurseryman George Jackman (1837–1887), of Jackman & Sons, Woking, Surrey. ''C.'' 'Jackmanii' arose from crosses made in 1858 between '' Clematis lanuginosa'', the red form of '' C. viticella'', and an earlier garden hybrid, ''Clematis'' × ''hendersonii'', which the new hybrid eclipsed. The spectacular success of 'Jackmanii' encouraged Jackman & Sons to introduce a series of clematis hybrids, although none of these ousted 'Jackmanii' from favour. Jackman also produced a monograph, ''The Clematis as a Garden Flower'' (with T. Moore, 1872), which he dedicated to H.S.H. Princess Mary, Duchess of Teck, as the clematis was one of her favourite flowers. Few of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clematis Virginiana
''Clematis virginiana'' (also known as devil's darning needles, devil's hair, love vine, traveller's joy, virgin's bower, Virginia virgin's bower, wild hops, and woodbine; syn. ''Clematis virginiana'' L. var. ''missouriensis'' (Rydb.) Palmer & Steyermark ) is a vine of the Ranunculaceae (buttercup family) native to North America from Newfoundland to southern Manitoba down to the Gulf of Mexico. The rationale for some of the common names is unclear, as they include examples normally applied to unrelated plants, including twining parasites (e.g. "devil's hair" for ''Cuscuta''). The name " Love Vine" also is applied to alleged aphrodisiacs, such as Caribbean species of ''Cassytha'', which are unrelated to ''Clematis'', not being in the family Ranunculaceae. Description This plant is an aggressively growing vine which can climb to heights of by twisting leafstalks. The leaves are opposite and pinnately compound, trifoliate (3 leaflets) that have coarse unequal teeth on the margi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clematis Viticella
''Clematis viticella'', the Italian leather flower, purple clematis, or virgin's bower, is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, native to Southern Europe and Western Asia, from the Italic Peninsula to Iran. This deciduous Vine, climber was the first clematis imported into English gardens, where it was already being grown in 1569 by Hugh Morgan (apothecary), Hugh Morgan, apothecary to Elizabeth I. By 1597, when it was already being called "virgin's bower", there were two varieties in English gardens, a blue (actually a purple-blue) and a red. All varieties of ''Clematis viticella'' are hardy in winter, tolerant of both sun and shade, and resistant to clematis wilt.

Ranunculaceae
Ranunculaceae (, buttercup or crowfoot family; Latin "little frog", from "frog") is a family (biology), family of over 2,000 known species of flowering plants in 43 genera, distributed worldwide. The largest genera are ''Ranunculus'' (600 species), ''Delphinium'' (365), ''Thalictrum'' (330), ''Clematis'' (380), and ''Aconitum'' (300). Description Ranunculaceae are mostly herbaceous annuals or perennials, but some are woody climbers (such as ''Clematis'') or shrubs (e.g. ''Xanthorhiza''). Most members of the family have bisexual flowers which can be showy or inconspicuous. Flowers are solitary, but are also found aggregated in Cyme (botany), cymes, panicles, or spike (botany), spikes. The flowers are usually radially symmetrical but are also found to be bilaterally symmetrical in the genera ''Aconitum'' and ''Delphinium''. The sepals, petals, stamens and carpels are all generally free (not fused), the outer flower segments typically number four or five. The outer stamens may ...

Vine
A vine is any plant with a growth habit of trailing or scandent (that is, climbing) stems, lianas, or runners. The word ''vine'' can also refer to such stems or runners themselves, for instance, when used in wicker work.Jackson; Benjamin; Daydon (1928). ''A Glossary of Botanic Terms with their Derivation and Accent'', 4th ed. London: Gerald Duckworth & Co. In parts of the world, including the British Isles, the term "vine" usually applies exclusively to grapevines, while the term "climber" is used for all climbing plants. Growth forms Certain plants always grow as vines, while a few grow as vines only part of the time. For instance, poison ivy and bittersweet can grow as low shrubs when support is not available, but will become vines when support is available. A vine displays a growth form based on very long stems. This has two purposes. A vine may use rock exposures, other plants, or other supports for growth rather than investing energy in a lot of supportive tissu ...

Willow Beauty
The willow beauty (''Peribatodes rhomboidaria'') is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is a common species of Europe and adjacent regions (Near East and the Maghreb). While it is found widely throughout Scandinavian countries, which have a maritime climate, it is absent from parts of the former USSR which are at the same latitude but have a more continental climate. Up to four subspecies are listed by some authors, while others consider the willow beauty a monotypic species or accept only ''rhomboidaria'' and ''sublutearia'' as distinct: * ''Peribatodes rhomboidaria corsicaria'' ( Schawerda 1931) * ''Peribatodes rhomboidaria defloraria'' (Dannehl 1928) * ''Peribatodes rhomboidaria rhomboidaria'' (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) * ''Peribatodes rhomboidaria sublutearia'' (Zerny 1927) Under its junior synonym ''Geometra rhomboidaria'', the willow beauty is the type species of its genus '' Peribatodes''. This was initially proposed as a subgenus of '' Boarmia'' but eventually el ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
