A question of circumstance ...
The different types of ivy?
The growth habit of ivy varies according to variety. Some will produce long, slender stems with few branches, while others will produce stocky stems with many branches. Some have a spreading habit, while others are upright or erect. Some form a hedgehog-like clump, while others form a carpet. Some form a thick carpet, while others form a relatively sparse carpet. Some tend to climb quickly, while others prefer to crawl...
In short, as you will have realised, it's not just the foliage that differentiates the different types of ivy. The habit is also a characteristic of each species or variety.
Ivy in literature
“Ivy climbed up the columns of this sanctuary, uniting nature with the divine”.”
Chateaubriand, Itinerary from Paris to Jerusalem
