The occasional question ...
What is an acuminate leaf?
The vocabulary used by botanists to describe plants is very rich. For leaves alone, you can come across dozens of specific terms.
An ivy leaf is said to be acuminate when it ends in a long, thin point.
Ivy in literature
“Ivy, in its humble glory, covers everything, even the saddest ruins.”
Victor Hugo, Les Contemplations
