Third, abrupt changes in rachis geometry produce differences in bending rigidity of the hook-bearing axis that are possibly linked to the direction of hook deployment. The apparently straight forward business of attaching a climbing plant to a host via hooks appears to be linked to a range of physical constraints and dependant factors such as overall size, weight, axis stiffness, presence of secondary growth and the stiffness and geometry of the axes bearing the hooks.

Key words: climbing palms, biomechanics, geometry, rigidity, strength, hooks, cirrus, flagellum. Hooks and Climbing Plants An aspect of climbing plants that has interested our research group over recent years is how the type of attachment—hooks, twining, tendrils or roots—are coadapted with the structure, organization and growth of the stem.
Biomechanics of Climbing Palms Climbing rattans Calamoideae of Southeast Asia and Africa and the distantly related but morphologically similar genus Desmoncus Arecoideae of the neotropics, have a highly characteristic mode of climbing. Open in a separate window. Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 3. How Climbing Palms Climb The results are consistent with the idea that climbers attaching by open hooks should bear them on structures that are relatively rigid in bending so they can be deployed and re-engaged when the climber becomes disengaged from its host.
