Erect Clematis.  Silky Clematis.
Clématis ochroleùca.
Family Crowfoot.  Colour Yellowish green.  Odour Scentless.  Range Georgia to Staten Island.  Time of Bloom May, June.
Flowers: terminal; solitary; nodding.  Calyx: cylindric, the sepals with recurved tips and very silky on the outside; thick.  Achenes: growing in erect heads, purplish, with long, brownish yellow tails.  Leaves: large; simple; oval, or ovate, sessile or with very short densely pubescent petioles; entire; bright green and glabrous above; very silky underneath.  Stem: erect; one to two feet high; reddish and covered with a silky fuzz.
This attractive plant which through its range is rather rare and local has been chosen for description as representing the group of clematises which grow in an upright, or ascending way; a habit which might often puzzle one not well acquainted with the diverse forms of the genus. When it rears, in fruiting time, its heads of achenes it is noticeable that their feathery tails are darker than those with which we are more familiar.

Clamatis ochroleuca. Class Polyandria. Order Polygynia. A native of North America, growing in Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. It is an herbaceous plant, not much exceeding a foot in height, and with us it usually flowers in the month of May. The blossoms have never produced seed here, and the plant is not easily increased by separating the roots. It is quite hardy, and may be planted in fresh loam.
