What does OSMUND mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A large fern of damp ground, bearing its spore cases on separate tall fronds, including the royal fern.
The osmund grows in boggy places and along stream banks, where its tall green fronds and brownish flowerlike spore clusters make it easy to spot. Botanists place it in the genus Osmunda, and the thick fibrous roots of the plant have long been used as a growing medium for orchids. Because the name is old, it appears mainly in older gardening books and in descriptions of wet woodland.
How OSMUND is used
