The question of circumstance...
What is the sinus of a leaf?
Ivy leaves are most often lobed, that is to say with a more or less divided blade. The number of lobes is, in general, three to five. The notch or indentation between each lobe is botanically called the sinus.
The sinuses can be more or less deep. They can form an obtuse or acute angle, but they can also be more or less rounded. They are sometimes very little marked, almost flat.
Ivy in literature
“The ivy, like a stubborn memory, did not let the old stones dissolve in silence.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun
