What does SCAPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A leafless flower stalk that rises directly from the root or base of a plant, as seen in daffodils and dandelions.
A scape carries no leaves of its own, running straight up from ground level to a single flower or a small cluster of flowers at its tip. Botanists use scape to distinguish this kind of bare flowering stem from an ordinary leafy stem, which bears leaves along its length. Daffodils, onions, and dandelions all produce a scape, which is why pulling one gives a smooth, leafless stalk topped by the bloom. The word also survives as the shortened root of landscape and seascape, though that use developed separately from the botanical sense.
