- The document describes the revolving movement of twining plant shoots, particularly hops.
- When a hop shoot emerges from the ground, the first few internodes remain stationary, but the next internode begins bending and revolving slowly around all points of the compass at a rate similar to the movement of clock hands.
- The revolving movement quickly reaches its normal velocity and continues as long as the plant grows, though individual internodes stop revolving as they age. Precise experiments tracked the movement of a single young internode on a potted plant.
