|discussion=<p><i>Clematis pauciflora</i> is a distinctive species easily identified by the small, 3-lobed leaflets, glabrous or almost glabrous leaves and stems, and large, suborbicular achenes. Intermediates between <i>C. pauciflora</i> and <i>C. lasiantha</i> are present where the two species occur together.</p>
