Have everything but 1a and 4d. Not sure about 12a.

4D triple def.
a) on horseback (verb)
b) harassing
c) constituency; body of voters (Cdn)

11D what Shakespeare said about a rose, hence abbrev for alias.

16A is another hat, obscure & variant spelling:

My 16a begins with K. Is that right? Got the rose thing.

No, 4D ends in G.

Just occurred to me that there must be a variant spelling. It's GASA rather than KASA. Have 4d now of course. My 12a was wrong.

Finished. Thanks, Syz.

12A to keep, to remember, or rather, not forget. Fuzzy clue.

1A FASC???T?R

Does that help?

Got it all.

Wasn't as bad as I remember. Found one years ago & it drove me nuts.

We saw it before it was chopped down. Only known specimen at the time.
