Butterfly in Australia of no recognisable type (9)
I believe the answer is:
amorphous
'no recognisable type' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.
'butterfly in australia' is the wordplay.
'butterfly' becomes 'morpho' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'australia' becomes 'Aus' (abbreviation).
'morpho' put into 'aus' is 'AMORPHOUS'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amorphous that I've seen before include "Characterless" , "irregular" , "Without a clearly-defined shape" , "Shapeless" , "Without clearly defined shape" .)
