Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox Clematis viorna, commonly known as vasevine[1] or leatherflower, is a flowering vine native to the southeastern United States. It grows in wooded habitats and bears purple flowers in spring and summer.

Description

Clematis viorna is a vine up to four meters long. The stems are almost completely free of hairs, or may have long or short soft hairs below the node. Leaves are usually cut into four to eight leaflets, with a terminal leaflet similar to a tendril. Some leaves may not be cut into leaflets. The leaflets are lance-shaped to oval-shaped, ranging from unlobed to bearing two or three lobes to further divided into two or three sub-leaflets, the leaflets at the base of the leaf being most deeply divided. The leaves range from Шаблон:Convert in length and Шаблон:Convert in breadth (occasionally as wide as Шаблон:Convert. They lack conspicuous netted veins, and bear a sparse to dense coating of long short hairs on the underside.Шаблон:Sfn

From one to seven flowers are borne in the leaf axils. The flowers range from bell-shaped to broadly-urn shaped. Like other Clematis, petals are absent; what appear to be petals are in fact colored sepals. They range in color from light purple to reddish-purple, lightening and becoming a creamy yellow towards the tip of the sepal.Шаблон:Sfn
