For the discernment between Clematis brachyura, Maxim. and Clematis mandshurica, Rupr., the color reaction, Mg-HCl (Hg) reaction, is applied to the flavons contained in leaves of both plants. The positive one against the reaction in Clematis brachyura, Maxim and the negative one is Clematis mandshurica, Rupr.

We named and described Clematis calcicola J. S. Kim, a new species of Clematis sect. Atragene (Ranunculaceae) found in a limestone area of Mt. Deokhang, Korea. Clematis calcicola is distinguished from the other species of sect. Atragene by 1) sparsely dentate, glabrescent, and subcoriaceous leaflets and 2) smooth and thick sepals.

To distinguish manchurian clematis, Clematis terniflora var. mandshurica and three-leaf clematis, C. apiifolia, we collected 9 nuclear ITS sequences and two sequences of trnQ-trnH intergenic spacer and trnH region in GenBank database. Those sequences were aligned to find differences between those of C. terniflora var. mandshurica and C. apiifolia. Two primer pairs were newly designed base on the differences between two species and conducted multiplex PCR. The size of amplified fragments using generated primers were 380 base pairs (only three-leaf clematis) and 189 base pairs (both species). This genetic marker based on PCR is useful to discrimination of C. terniflora var. mandshurica and C. apiifolia

Currently, there is a lack of genetic markers capable of effectively detecting polymorphisms in Clematis. Therefore, we developed new markers to investigate inter- and intraspecific diversity in Clematis. Based on the complete chloroplast genome of Clematis terniflora, simple sequence repeats were explored and primer pairs were designed for all ten adequate repeat regions (cpSSRs), which were tested in 43 individuals of 11 Clematis species. In addition, the nuclear ITS region was sequenced in 11 Clematis species. Seven cpSSR loci were found to be polymorphic in the genus and serve as markers that can distinguish different species and be used in different genetic analyses, including cultivar identification to assist the breeding of new ornamental cultivars.

Clematis chinensis is the root of Clematis chinensis OSBECK and is classified in Ranunculaceae. Clematis chinensis is a traditional medicinal herb possesses analgesic, diuretic, anti-tumorigenic, and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, the effect of aqueous extract of Clematis chinensis against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation was investigated in mouse BV2 microglial cells. The aqueous extract of Clematis chinensis at the respective concentration was treated one hour before the lipopolysaccharide treatment in mouse BV2 microglial cells. From the present results, pre-treatment with the aqueous extract of Clematis chinensis suppressed prostaglandin E2 synthesis and nitric oxide production by inhibiting on the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase expressions in mouse BV2 microglial cells. The present study suggests that Clematis chinensis may offer a valuable mean of therapy for brain inflammatory diseases.

Four compounds were isolated from 90% ethanol extract of the stem of Clematis heracleifolia. On the basis of spectral data, the structure of isolated compounds were identified as sitosterone (1), β-sitosterol (2), scoparone (3) and octadecanoyl caffeate (4), respectively. Sitosterone (1) and octadecanoyl caffeate (4) are isolated from this plant for the first time.

Clematis mandshurica (Ranunculaceae) has traditionally been used as a remedy for antidiuretic, antifungal, rheumatic conditions and alleviate pain. We carried out to evaluate the anti-oxidative effect, anti-inflammatory effect and anti-melanogenic effect of ethanol extract and solvent fractions of Clematis mandshurica. The ethanol extract and the dichloromethane fraction of Clematis mandshurica showed an anti-oxidative effect in DPPH assay, the inhibitory activity of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activated RAW 264.7 cell, and melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity of B16F10 melanoma cells. They reduced NO production and melanin content in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations of $2.5{\sim}10{\mu}g/ml$. They also suppressed iNOS and tyrosinase protein and m-RNA expressions dose dependently, assayed by western blot analysis and RT-PCR experiment.

From the methanolic extract of aerial parts of Clematis koreana var. umbrosa, one new triterpenoidal saponin, 3-O-${\beta}$-D-xylopyranosyl(1-3)-${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranosyl oleanolic acid 28-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-4)-${\beta}$-glucopyranosyl(1-6)-${\beta}$-glucopyranosyl ESTER, along with five known aromatic compounds and two known triterpenoidal saponins were isolated.

To clarify chemical constituents of Clematis heracleifolia, isolation and structure elucidation of the underground parts of C. heracleifolia were performed. Five compounds were isolated from $CHCl_3$ and n-BuOH soluble fraction of this plant. On the basis of spectral and physico-chemical data, the structure of isolated compounds were identified as coniferyl alcohol (1), scoparone (2), (+)-lariciresinol (3), phytosterols (4), and daucosterol (5), respectively. All compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time. To evaluate anti-acetylcholinesterase activity of the isolated compounds, compounds 1, 2, 3, and 5 were tested inhibition activity against acetylcholinesterase. Among tested compounds, daucosterol (5) showed acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$ value of $6.1{\mu}M$.

Clematis pseudotubulosa (Ranunculaceae), a new species from Gyeonggi-do in the Republic of Korea, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to C. takedana but differs in its leaves, which are always ternate with shallowly lobed leaflets (vs. 1-pinnate with deeply lobed three to five leaflets), and its oblong-shaped flower buds (vs. ovoid), larger flowers (vs. smaller flowers), and pantoporate pollen (vs. tricolpate). A detailed species description, geographical distribution, and an identification key for all species of Clematis that occur in Korea are also provided.
