> 	I also have an evergreen clematis which is in full bloom right
> now, which we do not have a name for.  It flowers profusely, and the
> individual blooms are quite similar in colour, size and shape to those
> of Clematis armandii, but they have no fragrance.  The leaves are
> quite
> different from armandii.  They are a lighter green in colour, not
> quite
> as leathery, more or less deltoid to ovate in shape, with the main
> veins
> showing a basic parallel structure with a lot of lateral branching
> showing.  If you have any idea as to which clematis this might be I
