CLIMBING PLANTS OF OHIO. 



Alice Dufour. 



Climbing plants comprise all tlipse which ascend by means of 

 support. There are two classes — the twiners which coil spirally 

 around a support and the climbers proper which cling to a sup- 

 port b)^ means of tendrils, leaf-stalks, rootlets, re-curved bristles 

 or other devices. In all these plants, the lowest internodes are 

 erect, beyond wdiich the peculiar characteristic manifests itself b^- 

 the movement of the free end towards the support. If the sup- 

 port is a wall, the climber usually sends out roots or tendrils 

 bearing disks which adhere to the surface. If the support is 

 other than a flat surface, the climber usually raises itself b)^ 

 tendrils. These tendrils often have the form of a reversed spiral, 

 which mechanism permits the plant to be swayed back and forth 

 b}' the wind without injury.
