Summary Atragene alpina L. is typified by the specimen in Herb. Burser XVII: 39 (UPS) and A. sibirica L. by 711.7 (LINN). The latter is shown to be a nomen ambiguum. However, current usage for both names in Clematis is maintained, the correct names in Clematis being C alpina (L.) Miller and C. sibirica Miller, respectively. In Atragene the correct names for these two species are A. alpina L. and A. speciosa Weinmann.
