The question of circumstance…
What is a haste leaf?
The vocabulary used by botanists to describe plants is very rich. For leaves alone, you can come across dozens of specific terms.
The word ‘ haste ‘ describes a leaf whose blade resembles a halberd, that is, it is rather triangular with the two lobes at the base in an almost aligned position. This is what makes the difference with a sagittate leaf where the two lobes at the base fall back on each side, like an arrow.
This term can also be used to describe the base of the leaf, meaning that the leaf forms an arrow-like shape at the attachment to the petiole.
Ivy in literature
“Ivy spread like a carpet over the old stones, transforming desolation into wild beauty. ”
John Steinbeck , The Grapes of Wrath
