| b. Inflorescence a panicle of 5 - several flowers; sepals acute or subacute at apex, pubescent along inner margins | 14 |
| 14a. Leaflets long acuminate; filaments 2 - 3 times as long as anthers | 17. Clematis ladakhiana |
| b. Leaflets obtuse or acute; filaments less than 2 times as long as anthers | 22. Clematis orientalis |
What should we consider these leaflets: 'long acuminate' or 'obtuse or acute', in absence of anthers?
