22A: Worried about oil plant: A_U_I_O_
I thought it was ABUTILON (plant) but that\'s not an anagram of \"about oil\" ??

[Kefalonia]

Abuliton is a plant. I presume it's "about" and "lin" which is perhaps the derivation of linseed oil.

[jocon]

I had the same problem reconciling "about oil". The "lin" connection is very tenuous.
BUTILON must be right - maybe it is just an error by the setter.

[jocon]

I meant ABUTILON must be right. Easy to make a mistake!

[johndeeby]

I thought the clue should have been: Worried about nil, plant
