| History | The species, C. languinosa was discovered by Robert Fortune in China during one of his famous collecting expeditions for the Royal Horticultural Society. He found it in Chekiang province, which he described the flowers as azure and the largest of any species in the wild. It was introduced in 1850. This species can be found in the family tree of most modern large flowered hybrids. |
| Lore | Clematis breeding began in France due to the first early Asian hybrids arriving there from Jesuit missionaries stationed in China before any other westerners entered the country. |
