metsäköynnös
Metsäköynnös, scientifically known as Clematis vitalba, is a vigorous deciduous climbing plant commonly found in Europe and Western Asia. It is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. Metsäköynnös typically grows in woodlands, hedgerows, and scrubland, often favoring calcareous soils. Its growth habit is scandent, meaning it climbs by twining around other plants or structures. The plant can reach considerable lengths, often forming dense thickets that can smother smaller vegetation.
The leaves of metsäköynnös are pinnately compound, typically with five to seven ovate or elliptic leaflets
While attractive, metsäköynnös is considered an invasive species in some parts of the world, including New
