Please find attached, herewith, photographs of a species of Clematis or Atragene. Please identify the plant species given in the photographs or suggest any person who can identify it. In my opinion it seems to be Clematis occidentalis but I need clear identification from an specialist taxonomist. Photographs were taken from sohagi Barwa wildlife Sanctuary, maharajganj, Uttar Pradesh. I hope your kind support will be there.

Thanks, …
