Clematis is a genus of about 380 species[2][3] within the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae.[4] Their garden hybrids and cultivars have been popular among gardeners,[5] beginning with Clematis 'Jackmanii', a garden staple since 1862; more cultivars are being produced constantly. They are mainly of Chinese and Japanese origin.
