What does MALLOW mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A plant of the genus Malva, or its wider family, with soft hairy leaves and pink or purple flowers.
Wild mallow grows on roadsides and waste ground and carries round, flat fruits that children call cheeses. The family it belongs to also includes hollyhock, cotton and hibiscus. Because the leaves and roots of some kinds produce a soothing slime, mallow has long served in folk remedies; the marshmallow sweet was first made from one of its relatives.
