Cissus Antarcticus. Aug 14th 63
Tendril thick slowly sensitive to touch light rubbing on concave surface by thin stick & again very slowly straightened itself.
Old tendril caught stick very slowly.
Shoot, very short moved irregularly a little, but I think only coming to light.—
Tendril performed small circle, moving with watch in 3°. 30' & a second circle in 4°, so though much less sensitive than discolor, moves quicker. —
