Without using any letter twice, can you make a plant’s name from these letters?
A O R T W

Answer = ??

It doesn’t say that you’ve got to use all 5 letters, so the answer could be WORT
I’ve also considered that the W could be an upside down M

They haven’t as yet published the answer to the previous puzzle (how many legs has a giraffe)

Taro (pronounced /ˈtɑroʊ/) is a common name for the corms and tubers of several genera of the family Araceae The name includes species of Colocasia spp (dasheen, taro, cocoyam, eddoe)[1] Alocasia spp (giant taro),

I asked my quiz team - they reckon it's a wort - any of various plants or herbs. The word is usually used in combination to refer to specific plants, e.g. St. John’s wort; however, it may be used on its own as a generic term. (from here)

Clever - it doesn't say you can't use letters 3 times!

I was just about to say that I think it's a trick question. It says without using a letter twice, but not more than twice.
