Please will someone tell me the answer to the following clue:-

41D outer layer of a plant stem
?e?i?m?m

Thanks very much indeed

periderm

Sorry Jazzgirl but peristem is only applicable to certain woody stemmed plants! The compiler is misleading! See previous post xx

Or even periderm it's getting late! Xx

Yep. I agree pinkpercy. (and ditto on your other posts too. x

I am getting desperate with this clue ( and others). I also expect 41D to be PERIDERM but I cannot make it fit with 42A.
That clue is Very long-serving person (3-5). I think the answer is OLD-GUARD but that leaves 41D as
?R?I?E?M
Many thanks
