    The following C. viticella cultivars were created by V. Lemoine:
    in 1888:'Anatole France' and 'Cléopatre'
    in 1890:'Coquette'; 'Gringoire' and 'Lamartine'

    These others are hybrids between C. davidiana and C. stans:
    in 1905: 'Azur'; 'Crépuscule' and 'Fraicheur'
    in 1906: 'Columbine' and 'Iris'

    Another cultivar not mentioned here is 'Lucie Lemoine', a very double white flowered Clematis.

    Could they all be added to HMF?

    Unfortunately they are probably all lost to cultivation apart from 'Lucie Lemoine'; 'Azur' and 'Crépuscule'.

    Reference: Victor Lemoine, l'homme qui donnait aux fleurs le visage des fées.

    We have added a part and will continue to do so. Is 'Azur' not identical to 'Cote d'Azur'?

    I suppose it probably is. It was listed only as 'Azur' in this book about Lemoine.
