A type of plant, especially in the Bistorta or Polygonum genus, with fuzzy flower clusters that resemble wool.
Compound word from 'fleece' (woolly texture) and 'flower,' named for the soft, hair-like appearance of its clustered blossoms that resemble sheepskin.
The plant 'fleeceflower' was literally named because its flower clusters look like they're made of fluffy wool—botanists sometimes just say what they see!
