CHAP. CCCCVIII. 
Of IVY Tree or Wall. 
1. '"Ip II E Karnes. It is called in Arabic k Cuff us, 
JL in Greek K/ayk, ^ in Latine Cijfus, 
and Cittus, and Hedera-, the firft of thefe Names 
fome have thought to be derived from Pu- 
mex, five Lapis porofus, quia ut ille Aquam, it a hoc 
Lignum textura porefa, Ef fpiraculis innumeris per- 
via Yin urn tranfmittit , wide Catoni Ef Varroni Cif- 
f mb ion Poculum He derace urn eft. And probably it 
might be that from this Co (huts might fay, That a 
Cup made of Ivy Wood will not hold any Wine therein. 
The latter Name, He deram vero Pompeius diffum 
ccnfiit, quod h treat, vel petius edit a pet at, vel quia 
id cui adhxfcrit edit Ef enecat and in Englifh it is 
called Ivy. 
II. lhe Kinds. There are five feveral forts of 
Ivy, viz. I. Hedera Arbor ea, five Scandens, Hedera 
CorymboJ a ■ nigra, Orthocijjos , Hedera reja, Hedera 
rigens Plinij, Common Ivy, Tree Ivy, or Wall Ivy, 
and this is that which all Authors call Hedera Am- 
ply, which is Our Vulgar Tree Ivy, called alfo He- 
dera nigra. Black Ivy, becaufe it bears black Berries. 
2. Hedera Corymbofa alba, Hedera Corymbia , White 
Berry bearing Ivy. 3. Hedera Helix , Hedera Steri- 
lis, Hedera Helix provoluta, which is thought to be 
the Helix Diofcoridis, Theophrafti Ef Plinij, which 
they make to be the third Species of their Climbing 
Kinds, yet it is feldom feen to climb up in the man- 
ner of the former, but lyes for the molt part on the 
Ground ^ but Johannes Thalius in his Harcynia Sylva 
fays he found it climbing as well upon Trees as creep- 
ing upon old Walls and Stones ^ this lbme fay is 
barren, as not bringing forth any Fruit, yet others 
fay this is rather for want of Age, for that in time 
it would bear, and change into the other lort, as 
Thcophrafius and Pliny fay •, this is that we call Bar- 
ren Ivy. 4. Hedera Virginian a , Hedera Trifolia 
yirginienfis. Three Leav’d Virginian Ivy. 5. Hede- 
ra fijtinquefo/ia Virginiana, vel Vi rginienfis, Five 
Leav’d Virginian Ivy. 
III. Hederula Tragi , Bauhinus makes to be a dif- 
fering fort from Hedera Helix, vel Sterilis, Our third 
fort, or Barren Ivy abeve mentioned, and calls it 
Hedera Humi repens, which yet Tragus himfelf di- 
ftinguilhes not, but fays, that that Ivy, which whilft 
it is young brings forth no Fruit, when it is grown 
older does, and that there is no difference in his two 
Kinds of Hedera and Hederula but in the Age-, this 
Barren Kind, fays Parkinfon, which creeps upon the 
Ground, will yet with its clafping Branches take 
hold of whatever is next unto it. 
Ivy Tree or Wall. 
IV. The Defcriptions. The firft, or Our Com- 
mon Ivy, Tree Ivy, or Wall Ivy. The Root hereof 
is woody and fibroids, running under the upper Cruft 
of the Earth-, from this Root it grows up witlfa 
thick woody Trunk or Body, which is fometimes, 
(tho' rarely) found as big as ones Arm, (hooting 
forth on all Ades many woody Branches, and grows 
fometimes alone by it felf into a pretty Bufh, as Lo - 
bel lays he faw in our Country, but it ufually climbs 
up upon Trees or Walls, and as the Branches rife it 
fends forth feveral lmall Roots into the Body or 
Branches of the Tree upon which it clambers, where- 
by it climbs up almoft into all parts of the Tree, or 
if it clambers upon a Wall it climbs up and lays it 
felf in the Chinks or Joints of the faid Wall, whe-
