Some resources list all parts of all Clematis species poisonous if ingested. The toxic principal is Anemonin, and symptoms after ingestion include intense burning sensation in the mouth and mouth ulcers.
Dermatitis and skin irritation has also been recorded, as have allergies and hay fever type symptoms from pollen inhalation.
We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to caution gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.

My apt complexes 'lawn maintence' people took a weed whacker to this early in the spring this year reducing it to maybe 18". As of today (2 May 09) it has 5 vines (as opposed to the two it had last year, it's first year here) reaching 4 or so feet, and there seem to be a lot of buds.

I planted this plant last spring in an area that is well protected from the winter winds, but is probably not ideal as it is rather shady below five feet. I was worried about it returning (I am in zone 6), but it came up at the same time as many of my other clematis.
It has just started blooming this week (June 20th) and Iove added a second one to a much more sunny area. Everyone who sees it asks about it.
