What does ORPIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A fleshy-leaved plant of the stonecrop family, bearing clusters of small yellow or pink flowers, more often spelled orpine.
Orpin grows thick, water-storing leaves much like other stonecrops, which lets it survive dry banks and rocky ground where many plants would wilt. Its small star-shaped flowers cluster tightly at the top of the stem, appearing through late summer. The plant is more often met today under the closely related spelling orpine, though older herbals and regional writing use orpin for the same species.
