The question of circumstance ...
What is a recurve sheet?
The vocabulary used by botanists to describe plants is very rich. For leaves alone, you may come across dozens of specific terms.
A sheet is said to be scurved when its edges are curved downwards, forming a kind of inverted cup. The opposite of scurved is curved, i.e. bent upwards.

“Le lierre s’accrochait aux vieilles briques rouges de la maison, tissant des motifs étranges.”
