What does BRIONY mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A climbing hedgerow plant with tendrils, lobed leaves and poisonous red or black berries; a variant spelling of bryony.
Briony is the older and less usual spelling of the name for two unrelated climbing plants of the Old World. White briony has a thick root once used in folk medicine, while black briony is grown for its glossy heart-shaped leaves. All parts are poisonous, so the plant is better admired than gathered. The spelling also survives as a given name, which is a separate use.
