"Habitat in sepibus Europae australis, Virginiae, Jamaicae." RCN: 4035. Lectotype (Serov in Bot. Zhurn. 73: 1738. 1988): Herb. Burser XVII: 35 ( UPS ) . Generitype of Clematis Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot. : 163. 1929). Current name: Clematis vitalba L. ( Ranunculaceae ). Note: Rechinger (in Fl. Iranica 171: 231. 1992) indicated the post-1753 Kaehler sheet (712.11 LINN) as type, but this is not original material for the name and is ineligible as lectotype . Although Brandenburg (in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 35. 1993) designated Clematis tertia Mattioli, Pl. Epit. : 697 (1586) as lectotype , his choice is pre-dated by that of Serov (despite his chosen type being associated with Linnaeus' unnamed variety γ ).
