Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: a plant, Clematis vitalba (Thphr.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Frisk compares ἄθρας, which would fit "zu einem Schlinggewächs", but I don't see what a car has to do with it. See Strömberg Pflanzennamen 108. Fur. 288 compares ἀνδράχνη and concludes to substr. origin (prenasalization), which is anyhow prob.

Clematis vitalba (also known as old man's beard and traveller's joy) is a shrub of the family Ranunculaceae. Clematis vitalba is a climbing shrub with branched, grooved stems, deciduous leaves, and scented greeny-white flowers with fluffy underlying sepals. The many fruits formed in each inflorescence have long silky appendages which, seen together, give the characteristic appearance of old man's beard. The grooves along the stems of C. vitalba can easily be felt when handling the plant.
This species is eaten by the larvae of a wide range of moths. This includes many species which are reliant on it as their sole foodplant; including small emerald, small waved umber and Haworth's pug.
