Comment
Aids plant in climbing. A prophyll may be difficult to distinguish from a branch tendril, because it may be found in the axil of a leaf, but it develops from a prophyll of the axillary bud, rather than a branch. Found in Curburitaceae. See also leaf tendril (PO:0025361), leaflet tendril (PO:0025362), leaf apex tendril (PO:0025363), branch tendril (PO:0025364), stem apex tendril (PO:0025365), and leaf rachis tendril (PO:0025366). Careful observation is required to correctly classify some tendrils.
