Hi Surajit, In Photograph 7 it is clearly seen twining around to the right in a clockwise direction. A simple exercise would be to try it yourself with 2 strings and 2 sticks. With regards, Neil Soares.

But it was impossible to ascertain whether it was a left twiner or a right twiner. Species : Dioscorea alata L. (syn. Dioscorea alata var. purpurea (Roxburgh) A. Pouchet; D. purpurea Roxburgh.) H & H : wild twiner inside a boundary wall, having said thus this does not imply that it was not wild Date : 29/10/12, 10.05 a.m. Place : Hooghly Thank you & Regards, surajit -- --
