KINDS OF STEMS. 107 



whose Stems throw out real roots, which last only are 

 justly called creeping^ whether they grow on the 

 ground like those above mentioned, or on other 

 plants, like Cuscuta, Dodder, Engl. Bot. t. 55 and 

 378. See/?. 84. 



Scandens, climbing ; either with spiral tendrils for its 

 support, as the Vine, Fitis^ the various species of 

 Passion-flower, Passijioray ccsrulea, Curt. Alag. t. 28 

 alata, t. 66, &c. and ^ryomaf/zozVa, Red- berried Bry- 

 ony, E7igl. Bot. t. 439 ; or by adhesive fibres, as in 

 the preceding parapraph. 



Volubilis, twining round other plants by its own spiral 

 form, either from left to right, f. 20, supposing the 

 observer in the centre, (or in other words, according 

 to the apparent motion of the sun,) as the Black Bry- 

 ony, Tamils communis, Engl. Bot. t. 91, the Honey- 

 suckles, Lonicera Caprifolium, t. 799, and Pericly- 

 meniim, t. 800, and Polygoliim Convolvulus, (23) t. 

 941 ; or from right to left,/ 21, contrary to the sun, 

 as theGreat Bindweed, Convolvulus sepmm,{24^) t. 313, 

 the French Bean, P/iaseolus vulgaris, Ger. em. 1212, 

 Jig. 1, &c.— Figures of plants being sometimes re- 

 versed by the engraver, in that case give a wrong rep- 

 resentation of the circumstance in question, witness 

 Lonicera Periclymenum in Curtis's Floi'a Londinen- 

 sis, fasc. \. t. 15, and many instances might be 

 pointed out of its not being attended to at all. 



Flagelliformis, long and pliant, like the Common Jas- 

 mine, Jasminum officinale, Curt. Mag. t. 31, or 

 Plue Box-thorn, Lycium harbarum.
