Project Gutenberg 2001-01-01 Public domain in the USA. 291 Darwin, Charles 1809 1882 Darwin, Charles Robert The Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants David Price "The Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants" by Charles Darwin is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the unique mechanisms and adaptive strategies employed by climbing plants, focusing specifically on their movements and habits as they interact with their environment. At the start of the book, Darwin introduces the topic of climbing plants and discusses his motives for studying their movements, sparked by previous observations from other botanists. He classifies climbing plants into four main categories, particularly emphasizing twining plants that spiral around supports and those equipped with sensitive organs that clasp objects. The opening portion highlights detailed observations of specific plants, such as the Hop, detailing their rotational movements, rates of ascent, and how these unique traits enable them to thrive in their habitats. Darwin sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of these fascinating plant behaviors, ultimately aiming to illustrate the principles of evolution through adaptations to their climbing environments.
