The occasional question ...
What does mucronate 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 ‘mucronate’ generally applies to the apex (tip) of the leaf and means ‘nipple-shaped’. You can also find ‘mucronulate’, which has the same meaning, but for a slightly shorter nipple.
Ivy in literature
“The ivy-covered walls were silent witnesses to Tess's story.”
Thomas Hardy, Tess d'Urberville
