== History == The earliest and most comprehensive study of tendrils was [[Charles Darwin]]'s monograph ''On the Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants'', which was originally published in 1865. This work also coined the term [[circumnutation]] to describe the motion of growing stems and tendrils seeking supports. Darwin also observed the phenomenon now known as [[tendril perversion]], in which tendrils adopt the shape of two sections of counter-twisted helices with a transition in the middle.<ref>Charles Darwin, "On the movements and habits of climbing plants", ''Journal of the Linnean Society'', 1866.</ref>
