What does BROME mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
Any of a group of grasses of the genus Bromus, resembling oats, some species of which are grown for fodder or as ornamental grasses and others of which grow as common weeds.
Farmers across temperate regions plant certain kinds of brome as pasture and hay grass, valuing it for growing quickly and tolerating a wide range of soils better than many other forage grasses. Not every brome is welcome in a field, though, since several wild species behave as persistent weeds, spreading through cropland and roadside verges with little help from anyone. Botanists group all of these plants together under the genus Bromus, so brome functions as a broad common name covering dozens of related species rather than one single, uniform plant. Gardeners occasionally grow an ornamental brome purely for its soft, drooping seed heads, prized in dried flower arrangements long after the growing season ends.
