The occasional question ...

What is the sinus of a leaf?

Ivy leaves are usually lobed, i.e. with a more or less divided blade. The number of lobes is generally three to five. The indentation or indentation between each lobe is botanically called the sinus

The sinus can be more or less deep. They may form an obtuse or acute angle, but they may also be more or less rounded. Sometimes they are very shallow, almost flat.
