A page from my little ivy encyclopedia

The question of circumstance ...

What is the sinus of a leaf?

Ivy leaves are usually lobed, i.e. with a more or less divided blade. The number of lobes is generally three to five. The indentation between each lobe is botanically called the sinus.

Sinuses can be more or less deep. They may form an obtuse or acute angle, or be more or less rounded. Sometimes they are very shallow, almost flat.

Ivy in literature

“Ivy climbs relentlessly, a metaphor for enduring love.”

Alexander Pushkin, Eugene Onegin
