circumnutate

A branch of this latter shape, 9 inches in length and 1 ½ in diameter, was chosen for observation, as less likely to circumnutate than a flabelliform branch.

If afterwards the process were reversed, the arch would be pushed over to the opposite or left side, and so on alternately,—that is, it would circumnutate.

From The Power of Movement in Plants by Charles Darwin

That an arched hypocotyl or epicotyl, with the two legs fixed in the ground, should be able to circumnutate, seemed to us, until we had read Prof. Wiesner's observations, an inexplicable fact.

Amphicarpoea monoica.—This plant produces long thin shoots, which twine round a support and of course circumnutate.

From The Power of Movement in Plants by Charles Darwin

Even after the flower-heads have buried themselves in the ground they continue, as will hereafter be shown, to circumnutate.

From The Power of Movement in Plants by Charles Darwin

Therefore the cotyledons certainly circumnutated, though the chief movement was up and down in a vertical plane.

From The Power of Movement in Plants by Charles Darwin

There can be no doubt that this little plant circumnutated.

From The Power of Movement in Plants by Charles Darwin

Circumnutation of Hypocotyls and Epicotyls, when erect.—The hypocotyls, epicotyls, and first shoots of the many seedlings observed by us, after they had become straight and erect, circumnutated continuously.

There can therefore be no doubt that this young leaf circumnutated.

Cotyledons.—On two occasions the movements of the cotyledons were traced on a vertical glass, and as the ascending and descending lines did not quite coincide, very narrow ellipses were formed; they therefore circumnutated.

From The Power of Movement in Plants by Charles Darwin

The movements of the flowers of Cyclamen Persicum were not observed; but the peduncle, whilst the pod is forming, increases much in length, and bows itself down by a circumnutating movement.

From The Power of Movement in Plants by Charles Darwin

In the course of the present volume it will be shown that apparently every growing part of every plant is continually circumnutating, though often on a small scale.

From The Power of Movement in Plants by Charles Darwin

Brassica oleracea: circumnutating movement of the crown of a buried and arched hypocotyl, with the two legs tied together, traced on a horizontal glass during 23 hours.

From The Power of Movement in Plants by Charles Darwin

The summit of the petiole was then secured to a stick, and the separate leaflets were found to be continually circumnutating.

From The Power of Movement in Plants by Charles Darwin

Here therefore there is in the evening the same conversion of a circumnutating into a steady movement in one direction, as in the case of the main petiole.
