Is `range' a clojure function? If so, that's expected:

(info "(org) var") says:

,----
|    The values passed to arguments can either be literal values,
| references, or Emacs Lisp code (see *note Emacs Lisp evaluation of
| variables: var.).
`----

[The syntax is wrong too: it should read

#+begin_src clojure :var c=(range 10)
 (count c)
#+end_src

but it's not going to work unless you define an emacs-lisp function called range
and teach it to emacs.]

The following works (I don't have clojure installed here, so I replaced it with scheme):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun range (N)
  (if (<= N 1)
      (list N)
    (nconc (range (- N 1)) (list N))))
#+END_SRC

#+begin_src scheme :var c=(range 10)
(define (count l)
   (if (null? l)
     0
     (1+ (count (cdr l)))))

(count c)
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: 10
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
