Climbing plants have two opposing methods of describing spiral growth The plants that turn to the right ill the northern hemisphere reverse this trend in the southern hemisphere, and therefore, for the sake of consistency 1t may be preferable to describe the two kinds of spiral tendency as re spectively "clockwise" and "counter clockwise," which latter can be short ened to "counterwise" The honey. suckle and the hop turn "clockwise, ; while the convolvulus and the scaric: runner bean twine "counterwlse.'
