Can someone please confirm that 19a (climbing plant Lathyrus Odoratus that has delicately coloured flowers) is Sweet Pea because that's the only word I can find to fit, but Sweet Pea is 5,3 not 8 as stated in the clue. I think someone's made a typing mistake there.

Hi: I also have sweet pea but am wondering about 28a, Waterside plant of the arum family.... I have sweet flag, but that is of the acorus family! Any ideas, anyone?
I have sweet pea. 2 words. Also is 28a Sweet Flag. Is the iris genus the same as the arum genus? BB
Ah. Beat me to it wolshouse!

Thanks. I have Sweet Flag for 28a too but I agree that it's of the acorus family, not the arum family. That's 2 mistakes in today's puzzle.

Do you have any letters? Matucana is a sweet pea.
Acorus
n the sweet-flag genus of the arum family.

Definitely Sweet pea!
I have TWO FACED for 17 down which provides the W.
It looks as if the sweet flag used to be classified as arum but has since been re-classified.... any botanists out there?!
The RHS encyclopaedia gives Sweet Flag as Acorus calamus - I guess we have to accept that.
