Definition
A plant with antler-shaped leaves or branches; specifically a staghorn or coral-like plant growth.
Etymology
From 'elk' (the large deer) + 'horn' (the animal's antler). The term is applied to plants that physically resemble elk antlers in shape and branching pattern.
Kelly Says
Elkhorn coral is now endangered because climate change is bleaching it white—it's tragic because the name perfectly captures what makes it special: its spiky, antler-like branches that make it look like an underwater elk.
