Science!

Particularly interesting to read the final point (E. H. Rapoport 1992
personal comment) in the second of the above references:

"Historical factors, such as the possible genetic fixation of growth
direction when some twining plants originated in a different hemisphere
than the one in which they grow today should also be considered".

Thank you, Jenny.

Thanks also to Malcolm for the Flanders & Swann. I wasn't aware of this
song, despite knowing much of their repertoire. Someone also posted
this in the Kiwi group, which was a surprise.
