Abstract In this paper, the status of Clematis eriopoda Maxim. and sect. Atragenopsis
Boiss. is discussed, and the species status of the former and the sectional status of the latter
are recognized; two species (C. wenxianensis W. T. Wang, C. malacoclada W. T. Wang) and
one variety (C. hastata Finet & Gagnep. var. micrantha W. T. Wang) are described as new;
one species, C. tubulosa Turcz., which has been erroneously relegated into the synonymy
under C. heracleifolia DC. by Fang and Wang for a long time, is reinstated; C. heracleifolia
var. ichangensis Rehd. & Wils. is transferred to C. tubulosa, and a new combination, C.
tubulosa var. ichangensis (Rehd. & Wils.) W. T. Wang, is made; the fruit description of C.
glabrifolia K. Sun & M. S. Yan is given for the first time.
Key words Clematis, new taxa, taxonomic status, Clematis eriopoda, sect. Atragenopsis,
reinstatement, Clematis tubulosa, new combination, Clematis heracleifolia var. ichangensis,

This new variety differs from var. hastata in its smaller flowers ca. 1.6 cm in diam., with
sepals 8–9 mm long, 2.5–3 mm broad, and outside densely velutinous. In var. hastata, an
endemic in northern Sichuan Province, the flowers are larger, 2.5–4 cm in diam., with sepals
1–2.2 cm long, 0.4–1 cm broad, outside densely appressed-puberulous (Wang, 2002).

In 1992, C. glabrifolia was described on the basis of a flowering gathering collected from
Fanba, Wen Xian, Gansu Province, and till now the fruits of this species has been unknown.
Recently, from the specimens borrowed from WUK I found out a fruiting specimen of this
species, collected from the type locality of C. glabrifolia by the late Professor Wang Tso-Pin in
1964. On the basis of this specimen the description of the fruits is given as above.

? S Europe. Known only from the holotype.
In 1876, on the basis of a single flowering specimen, Siebold s.n., collected from a plant
cultivated in Japan, Maximowicz described Clematis eriopoda Maxim. He correctly placed
this new species under sect. Cheiropsis, and correctly pointed out that it is more or less related
to C. balearica Rich. (C. cirrhosa L. var. balearica (Rich.) Willk.—Wang, 2002) in habit and
floral structure. In his monograph of Clematis, Kuntze (1885) placed C. eriopoda under sect.
2. Scandentes perulatae, and incorrectly pointed out that C. eriopoda is related to C. tibetana
Kuntze (a member of sect. Meclatis (Spach) Baillon) and C. pseudoorientalis Kuntze (a
synonym of C. ispahanica Boiss., a member of sect. Clematis subsect. Angustifoliae Tamura
—Wang, 2003). In the morphological description given by him, Kuntze erroneously described
the stamen filaments as pilose, and he erroneously transferred C. orientalis L. var. wilfordii
Maxim. (a synonym of C. serratifolia Rehd., a member of sect. Meclatis) to C. eriopoda as its
variety. From what just mentioned, it can be seen that Kuntze entirely overlooked the
statements about the systematic position and the relationship of C. eriopoda given by
Maximowicz. In Prantl’s classification of Clematis (1888), C. eriopoda was not included, but
it has been recorded in several checklists of the Japanese plants or of the Japanese Clematis
(e.g. Huth, 1897; Makino, 1897; Matsumura, 1912) and included in the floristic works of
Japan published by Ohwi (1956, 1965) and Ohwi & Kitagawa (1992), who indicated that this
species is obscure to them. This species was not mentioned in the two accounts of the Japanese

Recently, I examined the photograph of the holotype (Fig. 1) and the original description
of C. eriopoda, and agreed with Maximowicz in that C. eriopoda is really a close ally of C.
balearica Rich. (C. cirrhosa L. var. balearica (Rich.) Willk.), an endemic of southwestern
Europe (Wang, 2002). Clematis eriopoda differs from C. balearica mainly in its cyme with
two free, petiolate, ovate bracts. In view of the close relationship between the two plants, it
may be assumed that C. eriopoda should be a native of southern Europe rather than Japan, and
that this rare, curious species may be rediscovered in southern Europe.

This new species is related to C. thalictroides Steud., but differs in its smaller leaflets
with short hairs on abaxial surface, and in its not umbellate inflorescence nodes. In C.
thalictroides, the leaflets are larger, up to 10(–14) cm long, 7(–12) cm broad, abaxially
covered with hairs 0.8–1 mm long, and the upper nodes of inflorescence are umbellately
4–7-flowered (Wang, 2004).
Sect. 4. Tubulosae Decne.
Recently, after examining the herbarium material and the original descriptions of
Clematis heracleifolia DC., C. tubulosa Turcz., and C. heracleifolia DC. var. ichangensis
Rehd. & Wils., I realized that Handel-Mazzetti (1939) had incorrectly referred some
specimens of C. heracleifolia var. ichangensis and perhaps C. tubulosa to C. heracleifolia, and
that I (Anonymous, 1972) had misidentified the specimens of C. tubulosa also as C.
heracleifolia, and that Fang (1980) and Wang & Bartholomew (2001) all erroneously relegated
C. tubulosa and C. heracleifolia var. ichangensis into the synonymy under C. heracleifolia. In
fact, C. heracleifolia is easily distinguished from C. tubulosa by having more or less slender,
longer (1.2–3.4 cm) and densely puberulous pedicels, sepals not differentiated into upper and
lower two parts, and tricolpate pollen (Xie, 2005). In C. tubulosa, the pedicels are robust,
shorter (0.3–2 cm long), and densely velutinous, the sepals are differentiated into upper elliptic
limb-like parts and lower linear claw-like parts, and the pollen is pantoporate (Zhang, 1987*).
From the remarkable differences between the two species just mentioned, C. tubulosa should
be reinstated. Clematis heracleifolia var. ichangensis described from western Hubei and
southern Shaanxi seems really closely related to C. tubulosa, in having fasciculate flowers and
robust, short, and densely velutinous pedicels, but differs only in its narrowly obovate-oblong
sepals. (Unfortunately, the pollen morphology of C. heracleifolia var. ichangensis has not yet
been reported.) As such, this variety is transferred to C. tubulosa from C. heracleifolia, and a
new combination is made as follows.
