Hello beanpole

There have been several answers to this already.

However the answers you require are rhyzome

and cubi(s)t. 21a is reticle - hairline in an optical sight

You must therefore have the answer to 15d -l-t-

I would be pleased to have that one.

Thanks

It is actually RHIZOME you need to fit not RHYZOME

NILYA - I think BLITE is what you arelooking for at 15 down

Apologies!! 21d should be rhizome

[NILYA]

Thank you, Pangolin.

You just pipped me to the post on my correction to rhizome!!
