What does BLITE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A common name for several herbs of the goosefoot family, especially strawberry blite, a low plant with small, fleshy, berry-like fruit clusters.
Botanists once grouped these plants under the genus Blitum, and although modern classification has folded most of them into related genera, the common name blite has stayed in use for describing the group informally. Strawberry blite is the most familiar member, named for the way its small red fruit clusters resemble tiny strawberries even though the plant is not related to true strawberries. A related plant, sea blite, grows in salt marshes and coastal ground and tolerates the salty conditions that would kill most other garden herbs.
