What does GALAX mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A low evergreen woodland plant with round, glossy leaves, often used as greenery in floral arrangements.
Galax grows wild in wooded areas of eastern North America and is prized for its round, leathery, glossy leaves, which turn a deep bronze color in autumn and winter. Florists gather galax leaves as a background or filler in bouquets and wreaths because the leaves stay fresh and attractive long after cutting. Beyond floristry, galax is also grown as ground cover in shaded gardens for its neat, shiny foliage. The name refers to the plant as a whole, not to a single flower or leaf.
