Dear Bakar Ji , I am adding the description of this plant from eflora of China as this plant is widely grown as well as native to China .. Pls see
*Clematis armandii* Franchet, Bull. Herb. Boissier. ser. 2, 8: 184. 1886. Vines woody. Stems to 6 m; branches shallowly longitudinally 10--16-grooved, sparsely puberulous, glabrescent; scales of axillary buds ovate, triangular, or oblong, 0.8--2 cm, puberulous, abaxially longitudinal veins prominent. Leaves ternate; petiole 3.6--11 cm, basally sparsely puberulous or glabrous; leaflet blades narrowly ovate, lanceolate, or ovate, 5--16 × 1.5--7 cm, leathery, both surfaces glabrous, base rounded, subcordate, or broadly cuneate, margin entire, apex acuminate to attenuate; basal veins abaxially prominent. Cymes 1- to many flowered, from axillary buds of old branches, rarely from leaf axils of current year’s branches; peduncle 0.4--8 cm, puberulous or glabrous; bracts narrowly oblong to linear, 0.7--2 cm, undivided or sometimes 3-lobed. Flowers 2--8 cm in diam. Pedicel 1.8--7 cm, sparsely puberulous or glabrous. Sepals 4(--6), white or pinkish, spreading, narrowly oblong, obovate-oblong, or oblong, 1.2--4.7 × 0.2--2 cm, abaxially sparsely puberulous or glabrous, adaxially glabrous, margin abaxially velutinous to puberulous, apex obtuse to rounded. Stamens 6--11 mm, glabrous; anthers narrowly oblong to linear, 3--4.5 mm, apex minutely apiculate or obtuse. Ovaries pubescent. Style 6--8 mm, densely villous. Achenes narrowly ovate to elliptic-ovate, 4--5 × 2--2.6 mm, sparsely pubescent; persistent style 1.6--4.8 cm, white plumose. Fl. Mar--Apr, fr. Apr--Jul. 1 Cymes 7- to many flowered *a* var. *armandii* + Cymes 1--3-flowered. (2) 2 (1) Cymes usually *3-flowered*; *sepals 4* or 5, 2.1--4 × 0.6--1.2 cm *b* var. *farquhariana* + Cymes 1--3-flowered; sepals 5 or 6, 3.7--4.7 × 1--2 cm *c* var. *hefengensis* >From the above key it seems that you plant is *Clematis armandii* *var.* * farquhariana* (Rehder & E. H. Wilson) W. T. Wang, Acta Phytotax. Sin. 36: 158. 1998. Because you plant has 4-sepals and hope the cyme contains 1-3 flowers if it had 7-many flowers ( in case of *C. armandii* var *armandii*)then the inflorescence would have been more robust .Kindly validate my identification and idea.
