clematis ID?

This past weekend I came across a clematis that I'm curious about, but didn't have my camera with me, so a verbal description will have to suffice.
It had bright yellow bell-shaped blooms (like a pagoda type) but small, maybe just over an inch long. The dark green foliage was finely cut, similar to c. teniflora (sweet autumn clematis). It was in the 8 to 10 foot range and very dense.
More attractive than the flowers were the seed heads. They were tassel-like things, about 2-1/2 inches long (longer than I would have expected from the small flowers) hanging straight down, not in the whorls that many clematis sport. Oddly, the plant was blooming heavily, but there were lots of seed heads at the same time.
So my question is twofold. Does anyone know the cultivar? And if so, if a small cutting just happened to fall off as I was passing :wink: How would I go about rooting it?

Post a picture. There are too many varieties to guess.

I sort of knew that, but it will be a while before I make it back to where I saw it. I'll revisit this when I get pics.
