Jan 5th /73/ Lenny has examined Tendrils clasped the same side is concave from end to end— The short portion between reverse corkscrew has on outer side an extraordinarily wrinkled appearance no doubt due to the continued greater growth of this than of concave side (Sachs) & consequent wrinkling when kept straight. Any other part of spire, if pulled straight has same, wrinkled appearance on convex side. — I have seen all this in Passiflora gracilis
