What does OCREA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A tube-like sheath formed around a plant stem by the fused stipules at the base of a leaf, found chiefly in the buckwheat family.
The papery sheath wraps the stem just above each node, protecting the tender young growth folded inside it until the leaf unfurls and the sheath eventually splits or withers away. Botanists rely on the shape, texture, and bristled edge of the ocrea as a useful feature for telling closely related species apart, particularly among docks and knotweeds.
