Clematite de Mahon, Fr. — The leaves of this variety vary exceedingly, from those shown in fig. 23. of the natural size, taken from a plant in the Horticultural 'Society's Garden, to those shown in fig. 22., reduced from Smith's Flo7-a Grreca. Introduced into England by M. Thouin, in 1783. The varieties are all elegant evergreen climbing shrubs, rising to the height of from 6 ft. to ] 0 ft., and branching fi-eely, so as to become, in two or three vears, very thick bushy 22, Clematis cirrhosa angustifblia. 23. Clematis cirrhosa angusti(?)lia. The leaves vary from simple to ternate; and from being entire to being deeply cut. The flowers appear at the end of December, or the beginning of January, and continue till the middle or end of April. They are pendulous and bell-shaped, the mouth being of the breadth of a shilling, or more. Their colour is greenish white, with some purple on the inside. The sepals are downy without, and smooth within. In its native country it is said to climb up and overwhelm the trees ; but in England it is a weak plant, not very readily kept. In nurseries it is generally cultivated in pots, and kept in a green-house, or in a cold-frame. The principal beauties of this species con- sist in its bright evergreen verdure, and in the earliness of its flowering in spring; and these properties may be best obtained by training it against a wall with a southern aspect.
