The occasional question ...
What does cuneiform 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 ‘wedge-shaped’ is generally applied to the apex (tip) or base of the leaf and means ‘wedge-shaped’. It therefore refers to a leaf whose apex or base forms an angle (obtuse or acute).
Ivy in literature
“The ruined towers, covered in ivy, seemed to watch over the landscape with majestic sadness.”
Walter Scott, Waverley
