Available region in the east initially rejected for plant (7)
I believe the answer is:
freesia
'plant' is the definition.
The answer is an example.
'available region in the east initially rejected' is the wordplay.
'available region in' becomes 'free' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'the east' becomes 'asia' (I've seen this in another clue).
'initially rejected' means to remove the first letter.
'asia' with its initial letter taken off is 'sia'.
'free'+'sia'='FREESIA'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for freesia that I've seen before include "Sea rife with these odd flowers" , "Fragrant-flowered plant; faeries (anag.)" , "bloomer" , "See fair for fragrant flowers" , "Is the sea rife with these strange flowers?" .)
