Nope, not nightshade. It's a clematis of some sort, but I really don't know
which. It reminds me a bit of Clematis roguchi....but it's not quite the
same.

The web site you referenced, there is a close one near the bottom. But it's
in ?Japanese.

May be Clematis douglasii which is similar in color. Clematis roguchi in my
garden is a very dark blue/purple. Shape of flower of both is the same.
Definitely one of the small-flowered Clematis. Might be a wild seedling of
these Clematis.

You might also look at this site
http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?...cr_008_avp.jpg for
Clematis crispa which is native to your area. C. douglasii is a native of
the western U.S. I've looked for a photo online of C. douglasii and cannot
find one that matches that of a reference textbook and your photo. The
British textbook photo is similar to your photo. Photos online are not.
Strange. C. douglasii is the same as C. hirsutissima. I think you have C.
crispa but I'm confused as usual.

Thank you. It does look like the Swamp Leather Flower. Not a pretty name,
but that is probably it.
