What does PYXIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A creeping evergreen shrub of the eastern United States pine barrens, bearing small white or pink flowers; the plant is commonly known as pyxie moss.
Growers value pyxie for the way it hugs the ground and stays green through winter, forming a low mat studded in early spring with tiny star-shaped blossoms. It belongs to the diapensia family and grows wild only in the sandy pine barrens of New Jersey and the Carolinas, which is why gardeners elsewhere must plant it deliberately rather than find it locally.
