s-l-m- l-t

26 ac: Sample taken from plant by botanist, ultimately (6)
t-s-e-

Thanks in advance.

ac Salems Lot....Stephen King I think.

26a Taster ?

T + aster, a genus of plants

Thanks a lot, Busby. If someone can confirm "taster", that'll be me finished.

(botanis)T (ultimately) + aster

Lot??

Thanks very much.
