keld ended the Jacobite rising, but
Cleland fell in the struggle. He wrote _A Collection of several Poems
and Verses_ composed upon various occasions (published posthumously,
1697). Of "Hullo, my fancie, whither wilt thou go?" only the last nine
stanzas are by Cleland. His poems have small literary merit, and are
written, not in pure Lowland Scots, but in English with a large
admixture of Scottish words. The longest and most important of them are
the "mock poems" "On the Expedition of the Highland Host who came to
destroy the western shires in winter 1678" and "On the clergie when they
met to consult about taking the Test in the year 1681."

An Exact Narrative of the _Conflict of Dunkeld ... collected from
several officers of the regiment ..._ appeared in 1689.

CLEMATIS, in botany, a genus of the natural order Ranunculaceae,
containing nearly two hundred species, and widely distributed. It is
represented in England by _Clematis Vitalba_, "old man's beard" or
"traveller's joy," a common plant on chalky or light soil. The plants
are shrubby climbers with generally compound opposite leaves, the stalk
of which is sensitive to contact like a tendril, becoming twisted round
suitable objects and thereby giving support to the plant. The flowers
are arranged in axillary or terminal clusters; they have no petals, but
white or coloured, often very large sepals, and an indefinite number of
stamens and carpels. They contain no honey, and are visited by insects
for the sake of the pollen, which is plentiful. The fruit is a head of
achenes, each bearing the long-bearded persistent style, suggesting the
popular name. This feathery style is an important agent in the
distribution of the seed by means of the wind. Several of the species,
especially the large-flowered ones, are favourite garden plants, well
adapted for covering trellises or walls, or trailing over the ground.
Many garden forms have been produced by hybridization; among the best
known is _C. Jackmanni_, due to Mr George Jackman of Woking.

Further information may be obtained from _The Clematis as a Garden
Flower_, by Thos. Moore and George Jackman. See also G. Nicholson,
