胡椒通常是一种木质藤本植物,利用称为固着器的、和根相似的器官附着在支柱或其他树木上。只有从基部抽生的、生势旺盛的营养枝的节上才生长这种变型的根。它们分布在悬空生长枝条的各个节的周围,但枝条一附着固体的支柱后,就只在接触一边生长固着器了。 Pepper is usually a woody vine that is attached to a stanchion or other tree with a root-like organ called a fixture. Only the roots of this variant grow only on the baskets of vigorous vegetative shoots which are basketed. They are distributed around the nodes of the growing branches, but as soon as the branches attach to the solid struts they grow only on contact.
