Climbing Plants

p. 120 Smilax aspera "Neither the internodes nor the tendril have any proper revolving movement"

p. 97 Bignonia capreolata — "Its t. revolved in an apparently capricious manner, sometimes very slightly or not at all — at other times they described large ellipses"

(I have spoken too strongly),

I may say circumnutate much less regularly than oth tendrils of most other plants

p 116 Lathyrus grandifloras — "neither internode nor tendrils revolve"

—L. aphaca — t. do not revolve─
