\n<\/span>The orange achenes indicate <\/span>C.flammula<\/i> L.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Recently, saw Dineshji’s post<\/span><\/a> on Clematis flammula<\/i> from Jijamata Udyan…<\/div>\n
These flowers resemble … flowers…<\/div>\n
Also, earlier posted on the forum here<\/span><\/a>, received differing IDs…
\nrequesting to validate the ID of this post.<\/div>\n
\n

I also do think that this can be Clematis flammula…<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Thanks … Any key to differentiating between C. gouriana <\/i>and C. flammula<\/i>?<\/p>\n
