What does BURNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A herbaceous plant of the rose family with small rounded flower heads and finely divided leaves, several kinds of which are grown for salads or fodder.
Burnet covers a small group of related plants, the best known being salad burnet, whose young leaves have a faint cucumber taste and are still added to salads and cold drinks. Greater burnet grows taller and favours damp meadows, where it is valued as fodder and for its deep red flower heads. The name was later borrowed for the burnet moth, a day-flying moth with dark, red-spotted wings that is often seen feeding around the very meadows where the plant itself grows.
