Hedera azorica, the Azores ivy, is a species of ivy (genus Hedera) which is endemic to the Azores Islands. It is an evergreen climbing plant, growing to 20–30 m high where suitable surfaces are available, and grows as ground cover where there are no vertical surfaces. It climbs by means of aerial rootlets which cling to the substrate.
