What does MYRTLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
An evergreen shrub with glossy, sweet-smelling leaves, white flowers and dark berries.
The common myrtle grows around the Mediterranean and has long been a symbol of love and marriage, which is why its sprigs appear in bridal wreaths. Its leaves and berries have been used in perfume and cooking, notably in Sardinian liqueur. Gardeners in cooler climates grow it in sheltered spots because frost can damage it. In American usage the name is also given to the trailing plant better known as periwinkle.
