Please help me in parsing / solving this cryptic clue -
"A god rejected gold, collecting one Rolls Royce perhaps in exchange for great growth (9)"

The answer is a type of tree. And a famous former Guardian crossword compiler

Thanks Quisling. Got the correct word using A RA AU I CAR.

Well done. Sorry if the clue was too obvious

Quisling, Bharat, I don't like that clue very much - partly because it's inelegant (and long). I also wondered if 'great growth' is a good enough definition of 'araucaria'?

Please help me in parsing / solving this cryptic clue -
" Confused US Republican tweeting to say "I scream for ice cream" (6,7)"

It’s a definition by example. And an anagram, pointed at by confused

It’s actually a homophone rather than what is implied by the answer, so rather inaccurate

Yes, not the toughest 6,7 I’ve ever tried to say!

I tried anagram of US REPUBLICAN and T for tweeting as the 13th letter, could not get a satisfactory answer. PUBLIC NATURES?, not satisfied. Is T the 13 th letter or I ? Still screaming.
