“Grass left to grow up on island”.
Answer “Dari”.
Why? I suppose Dari is a variation of durra and I suppose the “i” is island but I can’t fathom the rest of the clue.

Incidentally this is today’s Mephisto but I couldn’t put it in the title for some reason.

Thanks

I think that 'rad' = radical = left.
Are you sure of your crossing letters? If so & taking your definition as "grass" -

Dari - 'rad(ical)'; left (?) (up, on) 'i(sland)' (?)

Thanks. I had red for leftie. Never thought of rad for radical. Is that an abbreviation I should put in my memory bank? I’ve never heard it
Question Author
Thanks lie-in. The crossing letters are correct
...under 'left' in Chambers - 'the more progressive... socialist, radical or actively innovating party'.
