Hedera Helix L

HEDERA HELIX L. Sp. Pl. 202. 1753.

The common European ivy must be admitted to the flora of the Southern States as an introduced species. It is frequent about old dwellings and similar places and I have found it perfectly natu ralized on the steep, rocky banks of the Ocmulgee River, above Macon, Georgia, where it has escaped from a cemetery higher up on the hill.
