What does ALSIKE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A perennial clover with pinkish-white flower heads, grown as a fodder and hay crop.
The plant is named after Alsike, a village near Uppsala in Sweden, where it was first noticed by European botanists. It tolerates wetter and more acid ground than red clover does, so farmers sow it on damp fields where other clovers fail. Bees visit its blossoms in large numbers, which makes it useful for honey as well as feed.
