What does MALLEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Australian
A low, multi-stemmed eucalyptus shrub native to the dry regions of Australia, or the scrubland dominated by such shrubs.
Mallee eucalypts grow several thin stems from a single woody base underground, an adaptation that lets the plant regrow quickly after fire or drought. Large stretches of semi-arid Australia are simply called the mallee, named for the scrub that dominates the landscape there. Farmers in these regions historically cleared mallee scrub to open land for wheat growing, a slow and difficult task given the tough underground root system typical of mallee.
