A clematis is a garden plant that cannot stand up like a tree. It holds on to something stronger — a fence, a wall, a garden frame, even another plant — and climbs as it grows. People grow it for the flowers, which may be white, purple, pink, or other colours, often large and open. treat the word as ordinary garden English, not a stiff science name, though it is also the plant’s scientific name. You buy it at a garden shop; you do not need it in everyday chat. Though actually, it is not a food plant, like grapes on a vine. It is a climbing plant grown to look beautiful.

組成Borrowed from the plant’s scientific name Clematis, from Latin clēmatis, from Ancient Greek κληματίς (klēmatís), from κλῆμα (klêma, “vine; a branch with vines”). The name is about the way it climbs.
