A clue across reads 'perennial summer flowering herb with sweetly scented flowers'- 8 letters, I make the answer CAMOMILE.
A clue down reads 'to cut or clip vegetation',- 5 letters, I make the answer SHEAR.
My problem is that the 'o' in camomile coincides with the 'E' in shear, which leaves me wondering if the setter has made a mistake, any ideas please.
