Scotsman Factfinders Crossword 27.11.2010

[Bluejen]

I am stuck on one which is: 28a. Producing shoots from the base of plants, rooting and budding at the nodes - 13 letters. ?O?L?N?F?R?U? Thanks for any help in advance
Bluejen

[chriscase]

could it be polleniferous?

[Mamyalynne]

Polliniferous

[Lie-in King]

Polliniferous (?)

[Mamyalynne]

although the definition of that word does not seem to fit the clue?

[Lie-in King]

That's what I was thinking, mamya, but I can't find another word to fit...

[slaney]

Stoloniferous?

[Mamyalynne]

Much better, a letter wrong then, well done.

[Lie-in King]

Great answer, slaney! :-)

[slaney]

Hi both - keeping the cold at bay I hope!

[Lie-in King]

With apologies to Bluejen for the brief hijack...

Hi slaney - I finally relented on Friday & turned some heating on!

I hope you're well? :-)

[Valanne]

I think it's stoloniferous but that means your o is in the wrong place.

[Bluejen]

Thanks everyone. I am going with Polleniferous since15d. would be wrong and I have Discorato which I think is right - correct me if I am wrong. Thanks again.
Bluejen

[Lie-in King]

Hi Blujen - what's the clue for 15d?

[Lie-in King]

Sorry, "bluEjen"...

[BertieButton]

It is STOLONIFEROUS, think your DISCORATO is wrong!

[Bairn]

I have dissonant for 15d, but still working on21d and 27a. Had thought of Romanian for 17d but are and population figures are way out so more work is needed on the Dacia aspect

[Bluejen]

Thanks Bairn and all the others. Dissonant would certainly make more sense and therefore I am going with Stoloniferous not polleniferous as originally stated. Thanks once again.

[Bluejen]

Bairn. You say you are stuck with 21d and 27a. For 21d I have Tangier and for 27a. I have unanimate. But they maybe wrong.

[Bairn]

Thanks Bluejen. Have just seen your post. I certainly submitted my entry with Tangier but can't remember whether I used inanimate or unanimate. All will be revealed on Saturday
