CUCURBITACEAE. Homologous nature of the tendrils Echinocystis lobata, remarkable movements of the tendrils to avoid seizing the terminal shoot Tendrils not excited by contact with another tendril or by drops of water Undulatory movement of the extremity of the tendril Hanburya, adherent discs VITACAE Gradation between the flower-peduncles and tendrils of the vine Tendrils of the Virginian Creeper turn from the light, and, after contact, develop adhesive discs SAPINDACEAE PASSIFLORACEAE Passiflora gracilis Rapid revolving movement and sensitiveness of the tendrils Not sensitive to the contact of other tendrils or of drops of water Spiral contraction of tendrils Summary on the nature and action of tendrils.
