a curling structure, common in vines, which enables them to climb
A climbing organ metamorphosed from a leaf, stipule or stem.
a stem of leaf modified to coil around other plants or objects.
Tendrils are twisting, threadlike structures by which true climbers, such as grape vines or cucumber vines, grasp an object for support. Vines with tendrils will climb on their own, without being trained. In some cases, vines will need to be tied to arbours, pergolas, latticework or other structures so that they grow in the desired place.
a slender climbing organ formed by modification of a part of a plant, e.g. a stem, a leaf or leaflet, a stipule.
A slender, clasping or climbing organ of a stem or leaf.
a means of support for plants through twisting, slender projections.
A slender, coiled or twisted filament with which climbing plants attach to their support.
n. (O.Fr. tendrillon, tender sprig) a slender twining or clasping process, modified stem, leaf, or part of a leaf, by which some plants climb.
A thread-like organ of climbing plants which attaches itself to some other body so as to support the plant.
Elongated and twining structure (modified from an inflorescence, leaf, or stem) assisting in climbing.
A long, slender, coiled extension of a plant, usually used for its support.
Usually a coiled rachis or twining leaflet modification.
A thin, long stem used for attaching to nearby branches, trellis, fences, etc.
Threadlike clinging part of a climbing plant.
Long, slender, coiling plant organ, adapted for climbing. Formed by modification of a part of a plant, such as a stem, a leaf or leaflet. [RA
slender stemlike structure by which some twining plants attach themselves to an object for support
a modified leaf or stem in the shape of slender, spirally coil
a slender stem- or petiole-like structure that is used by vines and lianas (climbing plants) to wrap around or to hook a support
a slender , thread-like organ or appendage of a plant which stretches out and attaches itself to some other object so as to support the plant
Thin soiling or twinning part of leaf or stem that is used to climb.
TEN-dril Shoot or modified leaf that supports plants by coiling around objects. 541
A modified leaf or branch structure, usually filiform, often coiled like a spring, used for clinging in plants that climb. Tepal A segment of perianth not differentiated into calyx or corolla. e.g. tulip, magnolia.
A climbing appendage used for support.
part of stem, leaf or petiole that can coil around supporting structures
A device, usually coiled, that enables some vines to climb.
a slim, twisting outgrowth from a stem or leaf; used for climbing or support, like in vines.
A slender, spirally coiled, branched or unbranched climbing-organ originating from a stem or a leaf. Parent Term: Climbing_device Difficulty Level: Show examples
A thread-like, clasping organ of climbing plants; usually a modified leaf or part of a leaf.
The twisting, clinging, slender growth on many vines, which allows the plant to attach themselves to a support or trellis.
A slender, coiling or twining organ by which a plant clings to a support.
a slender, clasping, or twining outgrowth
Stem or leaf modified for climbing
A climbing organ derived from the stem or leaf, e.g. pea
A curled structure arising from some nodes of the shoot and capable of attaching itself to other portions of the vine or trellis. Trunk The main, upright structure of the vine from which arms, cordons, shoots, and canes arise. Vines may have more than one trunk.
a slender, coiling modified leaf or leaf part. These help plants climb.
Long, slender, coiling branch, adapted for climbing (most tendrils are leaf structures).
The slender, coiling thread-like extension of a modified leaf or stem, used for climbing, as in Clematis.
elongated, twining appendage
A thread-like stem or leaf which clings to any nearby support.
A clasping, twining, slender outgrowth of a vine's stem.
A slender, coiling organ used for climbing or support.
A slender, coiling or twining organ by which a climbing plant grasps its support.
A slender, coiling structure that helps support climbing plants.
In botany, a tendril is a specialized stem, leaf or petiole with a threadlike shape that is used by climbing plants for support and attachment, generally by twining around whatever it touches.
