Is clematis related to the grape?

I visited a vineyard a few months ago and at the time I wanted to ask if the plant was related to the grape at all, because they look similar in some ways, but I thought the grower probably wouldn't know.


I was just struck by the bark and the trunk that are similar.

Is clematis related to the grape?
Magnoliophyta is a vast group that includes all flowering and fruit /seed bearing plants . They are still commonly referred to as 'ANGIOSPERMS' ( Thus Gymnosperms are excluded )





Magnoliopsida is a group with in the above and includes only the DICOTYLEDONOUS plant. ( Thus Monocotyledons are excluded !)





Clematis and Grapes ( Vitis vinifera ) both are Angiosperms and both are dicots ; therefore to that extent their classification is parallel.





But now they differ .





Clematis belongs to Family or order Ranunculaceae; whereas Vitis blongs to Vitaceae .





Both have different floral structure.
Reply:No. They are both climbers but there the similarity ends.
