Ivy-leaved toadflax ("Cymbalaria muralis"), also called Kenilworth Ivy and Aaron's beard (because of its threadlike runners), is a flowering plant native to Mediterranean Europe and widely naturalised elsewhere. It grows in rock and wall crevices.

This plant has an unusual method of propagation. The flower stalk is positively phototropic and moves towards the light—after fertilization it becomes negatively phototropic and moves away from the light. This results in seed being pushed into dark crevices of rock walls, where it is more likely to germinate.
