What does IXORA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A tropical flowering shrub with clusters of small, brightly coloured flowers, widely grown as an ornamental garden plant.
Ixora is a shrub native to tropical regions of Asia and grown widely elsewhere for its dense, rounded clusters of small red, orange, pink or yellow flowers that bloom for much of the year. Gardeners in warm climates prize the ixora for hedging and border planting because it flowers reliably and tolerates trimming into a neat shape. The plant belongs to a large genus of the same name within the coffee family, though only a handful of species are commonly cultivated. In some regions the ixora is also known by the common name jungle flame or jungle geranium, though it is unrelated to true geraniums.
