Ranjai (Clematis gouriana) is a beautiful native flowering climber known for its fragrant clusters of small creamy-white flowers. When in bloom, the plant produces large airy panicles of delicate flowers, creating a soft, cloud-like appearance on pergolas, fences, and trees. This vigorous vine is commonly found in Indian landscapes and gardens and is appreciated for its natural charm, fragrance, and ability to cover structures quickly.
