What does SUNDEW mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A small bog plant whose leaves are covered in sticky glistening hairs that trap and digest insects.
The sundew gets its name from the drops of sticky fluid on its leaves, which sparkle like morning dew in sunlight. An insect that lands on a leaf is held fast while the hairs slowly curl over it, and the plant absorbs the nutrients that poor boggy soil cannot supply. Sundews belong to the genus Drosera and grow in wet, acid ground on several continents.
