Ivy

Hedera, commonly called  ivy (plural  ivies), is a genus of 12–15 species of  evergreen climbing or ground-creeping  woody plants in the family  Araliaceae, native to western, central and southern  Europe,  Macaronesia, northwestern  Africa and across central-southern  Asiaeast to  Japan and  Taiwan.

On level ground they remain creeping, not exceeding 5–20 cm height, but on suitable surfaces for climbing, including   trees, natural   rockoutcrops<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">  <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">or man-made structures such as <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">  quarry<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">  <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">rock faces or built <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">  masonry<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">  <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">and <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">  wooden<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">  <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;">structures, they can climb to at least 30 m above the ground.

The juvenile and adult shoots also differ, the former being slender, flexible and scrambling or climbing with small aerial roots to affix the shoot to the substrate (rock or tree bark), the latter thicker, self-supporting and without roots.

The chromosome number also differs between species. The basic diploid number is 48, while some are tetraploid with 96, and others hexaploid with 144 and octaploid with 192 chromosomes.
