Is answer to 8-across = ANET? (Dill Herb)

Also, should answer to 22-across be Barren or Barron.?
(my little dyslectic brain can't work out which is correct.?)
Clue = Outspoken aristocrat is unproductive.

It would be barren.

I think anise is a dill herb. Not sure if you can spell it without the final e though

Anet - The herb dill, or dillseed.

Anise is a member of the same family of plants as dill - umbelliferae.

ANET is the Dill herb or seed. But not sure of clue which is 'Insect flavour returns'

I'm thinking 'Ant' for insect & Anet is a herb thus flavouring?

gnat? tang (flavour) backwards

you're right AB ~ makes sense of the flavour 'returns' part of the clue and gives an insect.!
Which I just wasn't getting my head around.

THANKS EVERYONE.
