What does MAHOE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
Any of several tropical or subtropical trees with tough, fibrous inner bark, especially those grown in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
The name mahoe is applied loosely to a number of unrelated trees that share a strong, stringy bark once twisted into cord and rope, rather than to a single botanical species. In the Caribbean, mahoe usually refers to hibiscus-family trees prized for hard, attractive timber used in furniture and cabinetwork. In New Zealand, the same word instead names a small, bushy native tree with pale bark and clusters of tiny greenish flowers, unrelated to the Caribbean trees.
