CLIMBING PLANTS OF OHIO. 
Aeice Dufour. 
Climbing plants comprise all those which ascend b} r 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 by means of tendrils, leaf-stalks, rootlets, re-curved bristles 
or other devices. In all these plants, the lowest internodes are 
erect, beyond which the peculiar characteristic manifests itself by 
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 by 
tendrils. These tendrils often have the form of a reversed spiral, 
which mechanism permits the plant to be swayed back and forth 
by the wind without injury.
