Abstract
One more old British ivy cultivar 'Glymii' is revealed and identified in the Arboretum of the Nikitа Botanical Gardens. It has persisted here as a relict of cultivation since the XIX century. Morphological characters specific to the cultivar’s leaf blades in plants examined fit completely the authentic descriptions and images available in the literature. Meanwhile, this cultivar was frequently ascribed wrong characters and names in some sources and in the trade, and as we have revealed, plants labeled 'Glymii' from the “Fibrex” Hedera National Plant Collection (Great Britain) belong to another old cultivar 'Nigra'. This led to the appearance of serious mistakes in relevant modern literature. The value of the described find lies in the fact that we now have an authentic specimen of 'Glymii' at our disposal.
