Sentences with BIGNONIA (5)
Gray that Polypodium incanum abounds on the trees in the districts where this species of Bignonia grows.
The best evidence, however, that the twisting does not cause the revolving movement is afforded by many leaf-climbing and tendril-bearing plants (as _Pisum sativum_, _Echinocystis lobata_, _Bignonia capreolata_, _Eccremocarpus scaber_, and with the leaf-climbers, _Solanum jasminoides_ and various species of _Clematis_), of which the internodes are not twisted, but which, as we shall hereafter see, regularly perform revolving movements like those of true twining-plants.
There is no difficulty in understanding how a spirally twining plant could graduate into a simple root-climber; for the young internodes of _Bignonia Tweedyana_ and of _Hoya carnosa_ revolve and twine, but likewise emit rootlets which adhere to any fitting surface, so that the loss of twining would be no great disadvantage and in some respects an advantage to these species, as they would then ascend their supports in a more direct line.
Besides the plants already described, _Bignonia unguis_ and its close allies, though aided by tendrils, have clasping petioles.
Nine species of _Bignonia_, selected by hazard, are here described, in order to show what diversity of structure and action there may be within the same genus, and to show what remarkable powers some tendrils possess.
