The following comprise the chapters: 1. Twining plants 2. Leaf climbers 3 & 4.Tendril bearers 5. Hook and Root climbers. Context. Inspired by reading an 1858 short paper by his friend Asa Gray on the movements of tendrils, Darwin set up experiments to explore the development of so many kinds of climbing plants in an evolutionary context.

Fuchsia perscandens is a semi-trailing, climbing shrub, also defined as a scrambling liane. [8][1][9][10] According to Godley and Berry [6] and Wilson, [2] the plant’s appearance depends on the support it gets. The primary shoot starts growing up without support, then climbs bushes or crawls on the ground to find some support.

Lophospermum erubescens is a climbing herbaceous perennial with fibrous roots. It climbs by means of twining leaf stalks (petioles) rather than tendrils or twining stems. The long stems are branched, becoming woody at the base with age and developing a woody caudex – a swollen, bulb-like structure at the base of the stem.
Pseudovanilla foliata is a terrestrial, perennial, entirely glabrous vine. Its yellow-green stem may be up to 0.9 cm (0.35 in) in diameter and 15 m (49 ft) in length; it is flexuose and terete. Adventitious roots (roots that arise from the stem), which are thinly elongated and flexuose, extend from the nodes and are always accompanied by an ...
Tendril. In botany, a tendril is a specialized stem, leaf or petiole with a threadlike shape used by climbing plants for support and attachment, as well as cellular invasion by parasitic plants such as Cuscuta. [1] There are many plants that have tendrils; including sweet peas, passionflower, grapes and the Chilean glory-flower. [2]
