The question of circumstance
What is «bird's foot» ivy?
In her book «The Ivy Book», Suzanne Warner Pierot proposes a classification of ivy into 8 categories, based mainly on the appearance of the leaves.
One of these categories is called «Bird's foot», and consists of ivy whose leaves are very deeply cut, with pointed lobes, so that they resemble bird's feet.
Ivy in literature

Oscar Wilde, A woman of no importance
