Tendril

Slender coiling structure derived from branch, leaf or inflorescence and used in climbing.


A slender, coiling, or twining organ (representing a modified stem or leaf or part thereof) by which a climbing plant grasps its support.


a slender organ formed from a modified stem, leaf or leaflet which, by coiling around objects, supports a climbing plant.


Thread-like stem or leaf which clings to any nearby support (e.g., pea vines).


A slender, spirally coiling organ emanating from either the peduncle or pedicel, which serves to attach a climbing plant to its support.


A stem, leaf modified as a branched or unbranched filamentous structure, used by many climbers for attachment to a support by twining or by adhesive terminal disks.


A modified leaf or branch structure, often coiled like a spring, used for clinging by plants that climb.


A twining leaf or portion of a leaf, as in the leaflets of the sweet pea; tendrils may also be of stem origin.


A slender outgrowth of a stem or leaf, usually coiled, that serves as on organ of support.


An elongated appendage of a plant that aids in climbing and support.


The coil of a modified stem or leaf, often used for support.


A coiling structure derived from a branch, leaf or inflorescence, which the plant uses to climb.


A climbing filament, usually projecting from the end of a leaf, that coils around other plants or objects for support. Tendrils are generally modified stems, leaves, leaflets or leaf-tips.


A string-like structure which some climbing plants wrap around a branch or trellis to support themselves. Peas have them, as do grapes.


A slender, coiled, or twisted filament with which climbing plants attach to their support.


In vines, a wiry appendage coming from a stem or leaf and wrapping itself around a support.


A cord-like structure which some climbing plants wrap around a branch or wire to support themselves. They are modifications of other plant organs, usually leaf-tips (gloriosa), leaflets of compound leaves (sweet peas), stipules (clematis) or inflorescences (grapes).
