DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF GARDEN IVIES. 



GROUP 10. GREEN-LEAVED FRUITING OR ARBORESCENT FORMS OF HEDERA 



CORIACEA. 



DENDROIDES, Tree-like thick-leaved ivy (syn. Rcegneriana arborea). An extra- 

 ordinary plant, and the most tree-like of all the ivies. It branches freely, forming 

 stout wood. The leaves differ but little from those of the climbing form, but are 

 less inclined to produce lobes, and are usually somewhat narrower, and more 

 smooth and glossy. This may be mistaken for a rhododendron when the leaves 

 become somewhat narrowed by pot-culture. 



PICTA, The painted thick-leaved ivy. A handsome variety of the last named, 

 distinguished from it by rich mo tilings of bronzy brown, bronzy purple, and dark 

 green. To bring out the colours, the plant should be grown in a poor soil, and be 

 fully exposed to the influence of light and air.
