Read about Clematoclethra in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Clematoclethra (Clematis and clethra, referring to the similarity of the flower to that of Clethra and to the climbing habit). Dilleniaceae. Shrubs grown for the profusely produced fragrant flowers and the attractive black or red berries.

Deciduous climbing plants: branches with solid pith: winter-buds conspicuous, free, with several imbricate scales: Lvs. petioled, usually serrate: fls. in axillary cymes or panicles, sometimes solitary, white; sepals 5, imbricate, persistent; petals 5, imbricate; stamens 10, short; ovary 5-celled. each cell with 10 ovules: style simple, cylindric: fr. berry-like, with thin flesh, subglobose, usually 5-seeded.—About 12 species in Cent, and W. China. Closely allied to Actinidia which is easily distinguished by its numerous stamens, many styles, many-seeded fr. and in the winter state by its winter-buds being hidden by a swelling of the tissue around their base. Several species have been recently intro., but the names of most of them have not yet been determined. They are apparently hardier than the Chinese actinidias and superior from an ornamental point of view on account of their profusely produced fls. and frs. though the foliage as a rule is smaller and not quite so handsome. Prop, by seeds and probably, like actinidias, by greenwood cuttings in summer and also by hardwood cuttings and layers.
