Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Ground-ivynoun
hedera terrestris, Latin. Alehoof, or tunhoof.
The shoots trail upon the ground, and emit roots from almost every joint, which fasten themselves into the earth: the leaves are roundish, thick, rough, and crenated on the edges: the helmet of the flower is roundish, bifid, and reflexed: the beard or lower lip is trifid, or cut into three segments; the middle segment is broad and bifid, and the flowers are produced at the joints of the shoots. The species are, first, common groundivy, or gill-go-by-ground; and second, lesser groundivy. Philip Miller.
Alehoof or groundivy is, in my opinion, of the most excellent use and virtue of any plants among us. William Temple.
