There are various parts of leaf that modifies into tendrils in plants. In plants, either entire leaf, upper leaflets, terminal bud, petiole or stipule gets modified into tendril. In Lathyrus aphaca, the entire leaf is modified into tendril. In Pisum sativum, the upper leaflets modified into tendrils. In Passiflora, the terminal bud is modified into tendrils. In Gloriosa, the leaf tip modified into tendril. In Nepenthes, the petiole is modified into tendril. In Smilax, the stipule is modified into tendril. In Australian acacia, the petiole is modified into phyllode.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Gloriosa.'
