The occasional question ...
What is a recursive sheet?
The vocabulary used by botanists to describe plants is very rich. For leaves alone, you can come across dozens of specific terms.
A leaf is said to be recurred when its edges are curved downwards, forming an inverted cup. The opposite of scurved is curved, i.e. bent upwards.
Ivy in literature
“Ivy stretched across the walls of this deserted abbey, making it even more alive in its death.”
Victor Hugo, Notre-Dame de Paris
