Can anyone help with the answer to this quiz question, please:

Describes a plant that binds from left to right

From left to right seems normal?
I'm sure there is a word but a quick check through books finds nothing
yet.
It did raise another question though; I have always assumed that plants
generally curl in a clockwise direction as the growing tip follow the sun
through the day, does that mean they curl anticlockwise in the southern
hemisphere where the sun moves from right to left across the sky?

No, different species seem to have a tendency to twine one way or the
other - see the wisterias mentioned elsewhere in this thread. That's
what gave rise to the Flanders and Swann song.

But some plants seem to change direction occasionally - start of
clockwise, say, then do an ugly half loop and carry on anticlockwise.

If you google on "binds from left to right" there are one or two
interesting looking articles.
