Clematis viticella L. var. rubra
See Clematis viticella L. for information on the species. Clematis viticella rubra is probably the red-flowered form mentioned in Curtis’s Botanical Magazine [BM t.565/1802]. ‘Rubra grandiflora’, with large, carmine flowers, is still commonly grown [Hortus]. This form was figured in Flore des Serres [FS p.20/1874] and is used as illustration here.
