I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Clematis (Ranunculaceae) Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links. Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details. If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful. Any comments/ corrections are welcome. I have added list of Indian species based on Flora of India vol-1. Thanks a lot, ..., The following species are not there (may be due to these being cultivated): Clematis flammula Clematis viticella Other missings (may be due to Flora of India being brought out in 1993)are: Yes ... Flora of India have not mentioned cultivated species of Clematis. Clematis sikkimensis was considered by author as C. acuminata susp. sikkimensis which is now C. siamensis. C.tortuosa (= C.buchananiana var. tortuosa Hook.f. & Thoms.) and other varieties like rugosa, vitifolia of Hook.f. & Thomson were merged by author into C. buchananiana. Thanks a lot, ... for the clarification. Clematis aspleniifolia (now C. songorica var. aspleniifolia, http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-2726736) is also mentioned as growing in India by Uniyal (2002) in Flora of Jammu & Kashmir by BSI. I have made corrections in Clematis accordingly. Clematis (Ranunculaceae) page with images of species in efloraofindia : 2 posts by 2 authors. Pl. go through Clematis (Ranunculaceae) page with images of species in efloraofindia. If you find any incorrect identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, or can identify unidentified images, it will be really nice. Ok, I will check. |
