The occasional question ...
What is a hasted leaf?
The vocabulary used by botanists to describe plants is very rich. For leaves alone, you can come across dozens of specific terms.
The word ‘hasté‘describes a leaf whose blade resembles the shape of a halberd, i.e. more triangular with the two base lobes almost aligned. This is what distinguishes it from a sagittate leaf, where the two base lobes fall on either side, like an arrow.
This term can also be used to describe the base of the leaf, meaning that the leaf forms an arrow-like shape where it attaches to the petiole.
Ivy in literature
“The ivy spread like a carpet over the old stones, transforming the desolation into wild beauty.”
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
