What the other books say about Clematis erecta

The same remedy read by a different author. They disagree, and the disagreements are where the remedy becomes recognisable.

Clematis erecta in Kent — Kent teaching a class, one remedy at a time — fewer remedies, far more on each.
Clematis erecta in Boger — A compressed key — the generals and the characteristic modalities, with very little narrative.
