Climbing plants are plants
which climb up trees and other tall objects. Many of them are vines whose stems
twine round trees and branches. There are quite a number of other methods of
climbing.
Objective of this book is to provide light micrographs of the types
of cells and tissues that students typically examine in a plant anatomy course.
All micrographs are accompanied by figure legends to help the viewer interpret
and understand the structures presented. Each chapter in this web site consists
of numerous pages, each with a micrograph and an explanatory text.
