Clematis is a genus of about 300 species within the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. Their garden hybrids have been popular among gardeners, beginning with <i>Clematis</i> 'Jackmanii', a garden standby since 1862. More hybrid cultivars are being produced constantly. They are mainly of Chinese and Japanese origin.<br/><br/>

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, <i>C. vitalba</i>, by the herbalist John Gerard; virgin's bower for <i>C. viticella</i>; old man's beard, applied to several with prominent seedheads; and leather flower or vase vine for the North American Clematis viorna.
