Clematis is a member of the Alauda family (902),[1] a large family of typically "bright" carbonaceous asteroids and named after its parent body, 702 Alauda.[2]:23 According to a different study, this object is also the namesake of the Clematis family, a small family of 5–16 asteroids hence they may have arisen from the same collisional event. All members have a relatively high orbital inclination.[3]
