Clematis hexapetala subsp. linearifolia (Steud.) Kuntze |
Clematis linearifolia is a type of vine or climbing plant that belongs to the Ranunculaceae family. This plant is special because it only grows in the wild in the south-west part of Western Australia.
How Was It Discovered?
This interesting plant was first officially described in 1845. It was named by a botanist named Ernst von Steudel. He studied a plant sample that was collected on Rottnest Island on July 18, 1839.
What Does It Look Like?
Clematis linearifolia is a woody climber. This means it's a plant that climbs, like a vine, and has stems that are strong and woody, similar to a small tree or bush. It can grow quite tall, reaching up to 5 meters (about 16 feet) high!
This plant is also known as dioecious. This is a fancy word meaning that it has separate male and female plants. So, some Clematis linearifolia plants will have only male flowers, and others will have only female flowers.
