Hedera pastuchovii Woronow

Hedera pastuchovii, (Araliaceae) is a species of ivy native to eastern Transcaucasia and listed in The Red Book of the Azerbaijan SSR, 1989.
It is an evergreen woody climber, growing in mixed forests to 20–30 m high where suitable trees are available but failing to thrive as a groundcover plant. It climbs by means of aerial rootlets which cling to the substrate. It is commonly known as Russian ivy - so named from the formerly Russian-dominated area to which it is native.[1]
