What is a recurve sheet?
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.
Ivy in literature
“Ivy spread over the walls of this deserted abbey, making it even more alive in its death.”
Victor Hugo, Notre-Dame de Paris
