Default Telegraph Vines?

Telegraph vine was mentioned in the 1951 science fiction movie "The
Thing from Another World."

It does not seem to be real plant species.

Plants can communicate with other plants and nonplants with volatile
chemicals that move through the air.

Ok what is the truth about telegraph vines being able to detect damage
to similar spicies twenty miles away. Is this urban legend or has
there been research to prove this? If so it sound fascinating... I'd
love to read about it.. Anybody got a paper or a link to one?
