Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Clematis viticella L. var. major

See Clematis viticella L. for information on the species.  Major is probably a large-flowered form but I have found no specific description.  It was used by Macarthur as a hybrid parent.  See also Clematis viticella L. var. major hybrid.
