Dear All Thanks for letting me know. This name was supplied to me some years back. I had assumed they had expertise, so neverchecked further. I am not a specialist in the genus Clematis but will check further incl. with the person who provided the name. Yes, the plant photographed does not match the images of Clematis ranunculoides you provided links to. A lesson to all - always double-check IF you can!

I am not as familiar with its flora as Ladakh or the NW Himalaya and as with the whole of the Himalayan foothills, the lower the elevation one goes, especially into sub-tropical and tropical plants, my knowledge rapidly diminishes! Nevertheless, I have visited Nepal on a number of occasions and know something of its flora. This Clematis is certainly not C.buchananiana. I think you will find this is Clematis acutangula - it is not recorded in 'An Enumeration of the Flowering Plants of Nepal' Vol 2, 1979) nor 'Flora of Kathmandu Valley' (1986). Hooker knew the plant as is in FBI - from Khasia Hills (now Meghalaya). Do not know of any images on internet. The pressed specimens in Kew herbarium will not help much. If circumstances permit, I shall contribute more about Nepalese flora.
