One dry and withered flower in France (5)
I believe the answer is:
isere
'in france' is the definition.
(I know that Isere is part of France)
'one dry and withered' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'dry and withered' becomes 'sere' (I've seen this before).
'i'+'sere'='ISERE'
'flower' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for isere that I've seen before include "French division" , "River and department of southeast France" , "River of south-eastern France" , "French runner" , "somewhere in France" .)
