One letter is preventing me having this finished by lunch-time.
41 A. Sun withered plant (5) ?eate
(I've double-checked my letters and they seem fine- would appreciate hearing if I've got something wrong.)
Re is an alternative for Ra, the Egyptian sun god. I've seen it used before to mean sun. Eat (as in destroy) can be synonymous with wither, so I suppose ate for withered. A bit tenuous though.
