About this book
Darwin studied how climbing plants rise, from twining stems to tendrils that respond to touch. He began after reading Asa Gray's short paper on the tendrils of gourd-family plants, and the first chapter takes up twining plants, the hop in particular, along with their rate of turning and the thickness of support they can wind around. The essay first appeared in a scientific journal in 1865 and was later revised as a book, with drawings by his son George. The preface points to the vine and Corydalis as showing organs in an intermediate state.
