The occasional question ...
What does lanceolé mean?
The vocabulary used by botanists to describe plants is very rich. For leaves alone, you can come across dozens of specific terms.
The word ‘lanceolate’ generally refers to the shape of a leaf. It is said to be lanceolate when it is shaped like a spearhead, clearly longer than it is wide, with the widest part on the petiole side.
Ivy in literature
“The ivy that adorned the chapel seemed to mourn the souls that had passed away.”
Camilo José Cela, Pascal Duarte's Family
