Clematis
''Clematis'' is a genus of about 300 species〔There are more wild species of clematis even than of roses", Alice M. Coats remarks in ''Garden Shrubs and Their Histories'' (1964) 1992, ''s.v.'' "Clematis".〕 within the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. Their garden hybrids have been popular among gardeners, beginning with ''Clematis × jackmanii'', a garden standby since 1862; more hybrid cultivars are being produced constantly. They are mainly of Chinese and Japanese origin. 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. 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 is from Ancient Greek ''clématis,'' ("a climbing plant"). Over 250 species and cultivars are known, often named for their originators or particular characteristics.
