Ampelopsis Hederacea

3 shoots more than rectangle, ie. slightly hooked, especially in smaller pot.— Left Hand shoot in large pot only a rectangle.

Sept. 11th 10° 45' tied upside down— But in large pot shoots were extended almost horizontally.

Sep 12th 11° 30' shoots straightening themselves

Sept 14th 11° a.m In small pot, marks have become lateral & lower part of bowed shoot has become almost straight & extends horizontally, whilst a short distal part has become greatly hooked & the hook must be reversed. When shoot upturned, the hook is seen to be open obliquely upwards. If Epinasty, then there is no difference in relation between end & adjoining part of shoot to cause this reversal; but if gravity there is such difference.

(In the big pots.— tips straightened, but upper side with the 2 marks still convex.)

Shoots Hooked— tip. geotropic & epinastic— lower part apogeotropic & hyponastic. As far as we cd make out. We think so because when we pricked the hooked leading shoot into descending hardly inclined position, which had an open hook, the apex curved upwards, & in in opposition to geotropism — but due to epinasty; but as soon as hook moderately closed goes over u [illeg] & downwards Geotropism must have aided & formed a loop.— Basal part of [illeg] Hook rose at same time as if [illeg].— After loop formed it was again reversed & now basal part rose with such extraordinary rapidity, that there cd hard be a doubt that hyponasty & apogeotropism [coursed] at the same time the tip loop opened strongly by the geotropic movement of the apex.—

Lateral leaves Hooked even not so apogeotrop or so geotropic, for though the Hooks down [illeg] this apex, partly down, some may be found pushing open & closely & upwards. Thus in case of A. Hederacea, which shows— what was even more [complicated] any [illeg] line of growth [illeg] changes their [illeg] — Burnt marks
