annotation vertically crossed Anyone who did not understan the [?]value of th movemt of the t. would conclude that as th internodes revolve & cary th tendril , & as thes at th sam time are revolng ,that th tendrils would «necessarily» twist ‹in advance› mor quickly «than th internodes» & get in advnce of them ‹one internode› , instead of «both» movg harmoniously together «as is th case.» But in fact th ‹interna› t incurves to the ‹ex› upper internde «of a twng plant» when several are revolvg, ‹but is ‹usu› generally separated fr it by rigid petiole›; & in th frmer part of th P. it was explained how ‹th› «several» internode revolve «together» by ther whole length sucessively movg to all points of th compass. Ther is, howver, this difference that in mny case, th «revolvg» t. is separated frm th revovlg stem by th rigid petiole ;‹of th› but ths make an important differn in th movemt— Ther is anoth differnce, ‹th› namey that ‹beyond› «above» th ‹base› ‹of› «part frm which» th tendril, ‹th› yong «arises , th termnal & motionlss yong» shoot almst alwys projects; this ‹is› generally projcts on one side , so as to be out of th way , ‹as long as› «of» th tendril which at th time is revolvg ; but when it is not sufficnly out of th way we hav seen in [?]Echies [ie `Echites'?] how well th t passes this obstacle in its path, by shifting & straghten slwly, & risng verticaly upwads.—
