3 Down : "10 possibly getting a plant". A - I -

10 Across (to which the 10 in the clue might refer) is "Utopian".

3d Axis

[blueberry2]

I think it's anil if you break 10 down into 1 = a and 0 = nil. See what you think.

[sarumite]

With my suggestion Axis is the main central part of a plant (i.e. stem plus root), and 10 is represented by its roman numeral x.

[gen2]

. . . and anil is a plant so it fits the whole clue

[sarumite]

.......... yes, you have persuaded me that anil is preferable!
