Etymology

The name of the genus Clematis is a derivation of the Ancient Greek word "clématis", which means "climbing". This is a description of the tendency that species show to be climbers. [5] And patens means "opening". In Japan, C. patens is called "kazaguruma", which means pinwheel. [6]

Description

Flower

White or pale purple single flowers grow at the tips of short shoots in May or June. The calyx that looks like a petal is usually 8 pieces and length of 7–8 cm, but the variation is large depending on the type. Achene is broad-ovate, yellow-brown feather-like. [7]

Leaf

The leaves are pinnate compound leaves consisting of 3–5 leaflets and length of 3–10 cm. [7]

Conservation

C. patens has been designated as Near Threatened (NT) on the Red List by the Ministry of the Environment in Japan, [1] and some prefectures in Japan have been designated as Red List. [8]
