Unknown clematis - help required!

Lucaston, Australia

This plant was sold as Clematis rehderiana but is obviously something else. Can anyone identify it?

It seems to be quite a vigorous grower and the leaves are heavily textured. The flowers are about 2" across and are faintly scented. They're in bloom now (autumn). Don't yet know if it's deciduous or not.

I'm wondering if it might be a seedling of rehderiana?

It may be this one ...not sure though.

Good luck :)

Thanks for responding. I don't think that's it. I really should have been a little more descriptive in my post.

The flowers are a slightly greenish cream on the reverse, paling to cream at the edges and in the interior. Each tepal has between one & three ribs on the reverse which is downy. The stamens are yellow. The brown discolourations visible in the photo are damage caused by over-enthusiastic bumble bees.

I have some higher resolution photos which I will post shortly.
