The question of circumstance ...
What is a recurve leaf?
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 clung to the old red bricks of the house, weaving strange patterns.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne, “The House of the Seven Gables
