Party reverses by hiding slip up with Vaccinium shrub (8)
I believe the answer is:
bilberry
'vaccinium shrub' is the definition.
'bilberry' can be an answer for 'shrub' (bilberry is a kind of shrub). I am not certain of the 'vaccinium' bit.
'party reverses by hiding slip up' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'lib' (abbreviation for Liberal, uk political party).
'reverses' says the letters should be written backwards.
'hiding' indicates putting letters inside.
'slip up' becomes 'err' (to err is to make an error).
'lib' reversed gives 'bil'.
'by' going around 'err' is 'berry'.
'bil'+'berry'='BILBERRY'
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bilberry that I've seen before include "Edible fruit" , "Fruit; rib Beryl (anag)" , "Fruit growing on moorland" , "Hardy shrub with red flowers and blue fruit" .)
