This species of ''Clematis'' was discovered in 1982, in a vacant lot on Round Top Mountain in Madison County, Alabama, by 21-year-old botany student James Morefield.〔Milius, S. (Unknown plants under our noses. ) ''Science News'' January 2, 1999.〕〔Tangley, L. (Flowering finds in our own backyards. ) ''National Wildlife'' Dec-Jan 2000.〕 It was described as a new species in 1987 and named for him.〔〔Kral, R. (1987). A new "Viorna" ''Clematis'' from northern Alabama. ''Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden'' 74(3) 665.〕 The plant was believed to be an Alabama endemic when it was given endangered status in 1992.〔 Collections were later made in adjacent southern Tennessee.〔
It grows in wooded habitat dominated by smoketree (''Cotinus obovatus''), often near streams or seeps. It is a climbing plant which attaches to shrubs and rocks for support.〔 The limestone substrate is very rocky with large boulders.〔(''Clematis morefieldii''. ) The Nature Conservancy.〕
