is this a good description and can you answer question at the end? Would you add anything else Parthenocissus quinquefolia, also known as Virginia creeper is a deciduous (seasonally loses their leaves) woody vine plant. Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper) is similar to the Parthenocissus inserta (thicket creeper). The Parthenocissus quinquefolia habit is anthropogenic (man-made or disturbed habitats), mesic forests (good supply of moisture for growth), forest edges, hedgerows, thickets, openings in forests, talus slopes It is an aggressive vine that can easily climb to the top of tall trees. The plant is a climber and climbs by using tendrils. A plant’s tendrils help support the plant growth, makes it possible for the vines to attach itself to another object and provides stability to prevent breaking of its stem. The tendrils of the Virginia creeper have adhesive disks or pads at the ends to help it climb. The Virginia creeper has aerial roots and stalks and stems are hairy. The leaves are alternate, palmately compound with five leaflets. This means the leaves are attached to the stem in an alternating pattern and leaves originate from one point at the end of the stalk that joins a leaf to a stem. The end of the leaves has a tooth-like shape. The flowers are Inflorescences divergently branched, with a distinct central stalk (Flora of North America 2017). Flowers are arranged in a panicle (clusters) and each cluster can have between 80 to 150 flowers. The flowers ripened to a blue-black berry.

Inflorescences divergently branched what does this mean?
