Very much looks like Clematis roylei.
I am not sure about the species. Compared it with “Concise Flowers of the Himalaya” by Polunin & Stainton (See 26 of plate 9), but leaves are not very clear in the picture there. However, I found very much similarities with that picture of Clematis roylei.
I searched the web, but not a single picture of Clematis roylei is available.
Would someone please confirm the identification? This flower should be Clematis buchananiana, and not Clematis roylei. The flowers of this species are characterized by narrow oblong petals (technically sepals) which are widely spread. See the following links:

It is Clematis connata as per … as per discussions in another thread.
Clematis buchananiana?? en-route Niharni- GHNP – PKA11 : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4). This climber with creamish yellow coloured flowers was spotted en-route Niharni at GHNP (Altitude approx. 2000M). I think yes, because of hairy stems, distinct ribs on sepals and longer flowers. Yes nice Clematis. Late bloomer. It is Clematis connata as per … as per discussions in another thread.

Clematis buchananiana (Family: Ranunculaceae) from GHNP, Himachal Pradesh.               Flora of Chakrata: Clematis connata or buchananiana:
This climber was shot from Budher Caves Road Chakrata I am little confused about its being Clematis connata or C. buchananiana Acc. to my id more chances are C. connata as irregularly toothed leaf margins and fused leaf stalks. pls validate leaves pinnate, petioles fused at base, flowers urn shaped, in branched clusters, petals un-ribbed, filaments hairy, I agree with you on C. connata. Awesome looking plant. We also have these species in Kalatope.. Such level of scientific photography can really help people to ID plants much easily… … is silently setting example of good practise in the group. Yes C. connata, connate leaf bases are very clear.    VoF Week :: Clematis connata along Govind Ghat – Ghangaria trail:
Clematis connata DC. … (family: Ranunculaceae) 1 AUG 12 Yes … During our visit also flowers were not much opened
VoF Week : Clematis connata; Was able to spot it just once. Yes …, WE also got it once only while trekking down from Ghanghariya to Govind Ghat say around in first kilometre of walk after helipad.
VoF Week: Clematis connata from way to Ghangriya: Yes … Very good set of photographs, but I wished there was a close up connate petiole bases, a feature which differentiates it from C. buchananiana, besides flower colour.

Is it the stem of Cobra Lily? I could not locate this flower in nice form – got near beginning of the trek few small samples and expected to have bigger one on the way, but did not get any more- may be be I have missed. Please identify this plant. If anyone has got a nice shot, please tell me. Yes … but petiole, and associated Clematis connata.

07 December 2014 these are fruits of clematis.. many clematis have such wispy flying help for their seed dispersal.. lovely to behold when that happens..
real seed is that tiny brown thing at the end of the wisp.
may be you can pluck some and get close up of them .. brown seeds on a white background and with wisps on a black background
would make you some lovely artsy pictures
if its the same vine Clematis connata nice to know id could be derived thus from the wispy fruits . HP, Oct 2014 :: Requesting ID validation – Clematis (?) :: ARKJAN-02 : 4 posts by 3 authors.

Sharing some pictures I guess is Clematis buchananiana DC. shot at the Chandtagiri Hill Kathmandu on 19 September 2016 at 8200 ft.
Nepali Names : जुंगे लहरा Junge Laharaa/ भेडे लहरा Bhede Laharaa / बाघ जुंगे Baagh Junge / चर्चरे Charchare / घन्टे फूल GhantePhool / खुर्सानी लहरा Khursaani Laharaa / पहेंलो जुंगे Pahelo Junge I think matches with images at Clematis buchananiana Sorry this is not C.buchananiana but Clematis connata. Probably C.connata var. pseudoconnata (which some recognise at a higher rank) but one cannot see the base of the petioles, which are likely to be dilated and connate forming disc-like structures. Some are very large/pronounced. The line drawing in eflora of Pakistan does not show this feature. Always helpful to be able to view both upper and lower surface of leaves.
These two species are often mixed-up but C.connata has glabrous foliage whilst C.buchananiana is often markedly hairy (esp. on undersides of leaves).
‘Flora of Kathmandu Valley’ says occurs in dry areas from 1600-2600m for C.buchananiana; 2400-2700m for C.connata. They describe flowers of latter as “golden-brown”, which is questionable- perhaps a specimen which had gone over?
I consider +/- all the images identified as C.buchananiana, see: /species/m—z/r/ranunculaceae/clematis/clematis-buchananiana in fact come within Clematis connata
Important to check for presence of disc-like structures on future occasions (these will vary in prominence). Often ‘glabrous’ does not mean entirely without hairs. Typical C.buchananiana is decidedly hairy.
I saw what I understand to be genuine C.buchananiana beyond Naini Tal some years back but do not have any images to share. Collet said C.buchananiana was common at Shimla but it seems nobody has photographed the genuine species and sent images to efloraofIndia.
Cannot find many reliable images of C.buchananiana on internet- a number have been misidentified. See: Link
If you take a look at the pressed specimens collected by Blinkworth in Kumaon see:
http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K001039669 and by Wallich (or for Wallich – as many of his specimens were gathered on his behalf) see:
http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K001039670 you will be convinced of the markedly different foliage cf. C.connata and lack of ‘connate’ petiole bases.
There will be variants that have less ‘softly hairy’ undersides to the leaves.
I have checked the images for C.connata and these look OK (though the image by … in VOF has unusual foliage (more images of all the features would be helpful to check its identity further) to me with the ‘connate’ feature being drawn attention to. See:
Those who live/visit suitable places, should keep a look out in forests & shrubberies @ 1800-3000m. Stewart found C.connata to be common in Kashmir and N.Pakistan @ 1500-2700m. C.buchananiana he only recorded from Kashmir at Tangmarg and Banihal Valley plus Verinag (though 2 of these records were 19th Century).
All the evidence suggests C.connata is common in the NW Himalaya, C.buchananiana less so. Need Expert help! No. I am confident about what I have said and that the images taken in Nepal are Clematis connata ; I took the time to explain why.

Clematis…??? I know what I consider this Clematis to be but as have posted quite a lot about Clematis found in Nepal would be useful to see what other members think this is, BEFORE commenting further. This is Clematis connata.
You can, just, make out the leaf-stalks fused together at the node into a large flat disk – this characteristic distinguishes this climber from similar Clematis.
‘Flora of Kathmandu Valley’ records this species from 2400-2600m – though describes the flowers as ‘golden-brown’, growing in oak or rhododendron forest.

Clematis … ???
Clematis species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) Very likely C. connata!
