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.

ground ivy
Ground Ivy, scientifically known as Glechoma hederacea, is a perennial, creeping plant that is part of the Lamiaceae or mint family. It is native to Europe and Asia, but has been introduced to other parts of the world. This plant is characterized by its aromatic, kidney-shaped leaves, and small, purple-blue flowers. While it is often considered a weed due to its invasive growth in lawns and gardens, it can also be used in traditional herbal medicine, and is edible with a somewhat peppery flavor.
