I think plant from Kashmir may be Clematis 'Jackmanii'  as per images, details and references herein. 

[Gurcharan Singh]

I hope you are right Garg ji, Looking at the confusion on various websites, I think it would be right to name it as C. x jackmanii (both GRIN and Kew database), TPL and Plants of the World Online list C. jackmanii, but even those websites which name it Clematis 'Jackmanii' (as you have suggested) accept it to be be interspecific hybrid.
