and strength, and the proper terms should be used to describe each of these characteristics. The set of a current is the direction toward which it is flowing. A current flowing from North fall five to south has a set of 180 degrees and is described as a southerly current. Note that this is the exact opposite of the way in which winds are designated: a wind from North fall five to south is a North fall five wind. The drift of a current is its strength or speed. This is normally measured in knots and tenths; non-tidal river currents may be stated in terms of miles per hour (mph). A tidal current is said to flood when it flows in from the sea. It ebbs when it flows back toward the sea. (Tides do not "ebb" or "flood," only currents.) As a current changes from one direction to the other, there is a brief period of no detectable motion—this is termed slack or slack water. This is not the same as the time of stand, when the rise or fall of a tide changes. Due to the varying characteristics of bodies of water, the time of stand and the time of slack are almost always different. For example, at a given location on a tidal river, the tide may already have started to fall while the current is still flooding—consider each phenomenon separately.

The large-flowered clematis are divided into several groups according to their parentage. These groups are Florida, flowering mainly in early and mid-summer; Jackmanii, flowering mainly in late summer and early fall; Lanuginosa, flowering at different times between mid-summer and the early fall; Patens, flowering mainly in early to mid-summer; Texensis, flowering mainly from late summer to mid-fall and Viticella, also flowering mainly from late summer to mid-fall.
