Last corner - 23d, Hopefully tea for an audience, I have RO?I??; 30a, Roman standards trouble peevish Academician, I have ?E?ILLA; and 33a, Gentleman back at last, axes plant with yellow flowers, I have ??RIS. Any ideas anyone please?

30 Vexilla

23d: rosily
rosie lee - cockney slang for tea

23 Rosier

sounds like - Rosy 'ere

Rosily is much better

33 Orris?

Or (yellow) + Sir, back

xyris = plant with yellow flowers
ris - sir (reversed); gentleman
xy - axes

Brilliant!

Thank you, Mamya - it is praise indeed if YOU say so!

Thank you all!
Not sure how Stuns'ls, which is a plural, is [an] extra sail (11a), nor what XY (or YX) has to do with axes (33a), but I'm gonna trust you and send it in anyway. Thanks again.
