What does MUHLY mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
Any of several tufted grasses of the genus Muhlenbergia, many of which have fine, hair-like flowering stems.
Muhly grasses grow wild across the Americas and are also planted deliberately in gardens for their airy, cloud-like seed heads, which catch the light in autumn. Pink muhly is especially popular in landscaping because its flowering stems turn a soft rose colour over large drifts. Botanists group muhly species by their narrow leaves and small, densely clustered flower spikes rather than by colour alone. The common name muhly honours the American botanist Gotthilf Muhlenberg, after whom the genus is named.
