The question of circumstance
What is the lobe of a leaf?
Botanically speaking, the lobe of a leaf is a more or less deep division, which may be rounded or pointed, of a whole leaf. In other words, they are large indentations around the edge of the leaf. They are clearly distinguishable from «teeth», which are regular, small indentations all around the leaf. The number of lobes varies from variety to variety. Ivy usually has 3, 5 or 7 lobes. Sometimes there are no lobes at all. This is particularly true of adult ivy leaves.
A distinction should also be made between lobes and leaflets: a lobe applies to a whole leaf (a single petiole), whereas leaflets are divisions of a compound leaf, with a petiole subdividing into petiolules each bearing a leaflet. Ivy has no compound leaf. All the leaves are whole, more or less lobed.
Ivy in literature
“Ivy grows, impassive, on the ruins of our illusions.”
T.S. Eliot, La Terre vaine
