Clematis is a genus of about 380 species within the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. Their garden hybrids and cultivars have been popular among gardeners, beginning with Clematis 'Jackmanii', a garden staple since 1862. More cultivars are being produced constantly, mainly of Chinese and Japanese origin.

==Species names== Most species are known as clematis in English, while some are also known as: '''traveller's joy', a name invented for the sole British native, C. vitalba, by the herbalist John Gerard (1545–1612); 'virgin's bower' for C. terniflora, C. virginiana, and C. viticella; 'old man's beard, applied to several with prominent seedheads; leather flower for those with fleshy petals; or vase vine' for the North American Clematis viorna.
