Friday’s seeds: Clematis hexapetala

and Clematis lancifolia?

A very good way to welcome February with new seeds, collected and arrived from far away: Primorye (Far East Russia).
With pubescent achenes and plumose styles, Clematis hexapetala came well prepared for this frigid weather. Seeds available in the shop soon!

And here’ s a picture with this beautiful shrubby Clematis in culture:

I also hope this to be a good occasion to clarify the situation of another Clematis, grown from a seeds exchange as C. hexapetala. Seeds are probably still going around as such. The flowers are similar but not difficult to notice that the leaves are different: simple or ternate (1- or 2-pinnatisect for C. hexapetala).

Using Flora of China I can only classify it as Clematis cf. lancifolia but overall there is little info available about it. I look forward to hear other opinions (http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200007666)
