All done, and great fun. But cannot for the life of me make sense of 23d: African cereal grass tussock ass leaves when climbing (4).

An 's' is to be removed from the clue unless I am mistaken, so presumably 'as' not 'ass'. The answer seems to be TEFF, an Ethiopian cereal grass. But why. Thanks in advance.

You're right Rick - TEFF with an extra 's' and tuFFET for 'tussock' (reverse everything including ut, Latin 'as').
