Question
This plant, photographed in November of 2013, had few leaves left. Those I do see do not appear to have toothed margins, therefore Clematis virginiana seems unlikely. Thank you for your thoughts!
Answer
DavidBlair, you have photographed Clematis occidentalis. The fruits are quite diagnostic of this species. the leaf blade margins of this species are variable. It may be difficult to detect the coarse, few teeth when they are dried up. Best wishes.
