Horizontal shrub / scrub (Chambers has both) - I don't have the puzzle, so don't know if the H/C matters...

[Claud.Butler]

The h/c doesn't intersect with any other clues.

[Lie-in King]

Thanks Claud - another one for personal preference then...

[Rollo]

If "shrub" is in the clue then It should not really be in the answer.

[Catron]

Neither of my Chambers dictionaries has horizontal shrub.

I Googled 'Horizontal Scrub' and up came the exact description as per the clue

[rccatnap]

I agree with Rollo.
See http://www.utas.edu.au/library/companion_to_ta smanian_history/H/Horizontal%20Scrub.htm

[cecilope]

definitely horizontal scrub

[tell]

The answer is HORIZONTAL SCRUB
It is in the 10th edition of Chambers
