Cobaea Cav. Polemoniaceae. 9 trop. Am. C. scandens Cav. cult, 

 orn. climber of very rapid growth. It climbs by aid of tendrils 

 (leaf-structures) which are much branched, the branches ending in 

 sharp hooks. The tendril nutates with great rapidity and is highly 

 sensitive to contact (as maybe seen by rubbing one side and watching 

 it for 5 min.); the hooks prevent the nutaton from dragging away 

 a branch before it has had time to clasp its support (Darwin, Climbers, 

 p. 106). The closed bud stands erect on an erect stalk, but when 

 going to open, the tip of the stalk bends over. Fl. very protandr. 

 with movement of sta. and styles. At first greenish with unpleasant 

 smell (fly-fl.), it becomes purple with pleasant honey-like smell 

 (bee-fl.). Afterwards the stalk goes through several contortions 

 (cf. Linaria).
