Yeah I know, Im just finding out about it
It was introduced into England about 1732 though it will only grow as a stove plant, with tanners' bark. The plant is an herbaceous perennial, with a creeping rhizome with upward-curving, fleshy, cylindrical tubers covered with large, thin scales that leave rings of scars. The flowering stem reaches a height of 6 feet, and bears creamy flowers at the ends of the slender branches that terminate the long peduncles. They grow in pairs. The numerous, ovate, glabrous leaves are from 2 to 10 inches in length, with long sheaths often enveloping the stem.

I was stuck on the whole "you can only use these letters" thinking it was a five letter word I was looking for.
I kept searching and noticed Arrowroot only had those letters in it. No more no less. And none of the letters were only used twice.

You could, but the elephant wouldn't thank you.
An eel called Dauth?
