Clematis napaulensis (syn. Clematis forrestii W.W.Sm.), the Nepal clematis,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. It is native to China and the Indian subcontinent, including Nepal,[3][4] whence the specific epithet napaulensis.

The nodding flowers are up to 3 cm (1.2 in) across and scented.[5] The short outer petals are cream-coloured, and they surround several long stamens with deep red anthers.[2] They are followed by handsome large fruit clusters[5] and fluffy seed-heads. The plant will not survive harsh winter climates,[5] but grows well in warm or coastal areas where the temperature does not fall below −5 °C (23 °F). It prefers a sheltered position with the flowers in full sun. Like all clematis, the root-run does best in moist, shaded conditions.[2]
