Can anyone help with
11. An ostentatious tropical tree. (10)
15. Relatively informative diagram of house. (6,4)
16. Many a shipwreck provided thin, wooden strips for making boxes. (5)

I keep thinking of Granny Flat for 11 but then i think it's wrong.
And i've thought of Slats for 16 but can't quite make it fit.
Thanks for any help.

11 is just another fairly common word for 'ostentatious', beginning with F... (I hadn't heard of the tree, but it's in the Chambers Dictionary).

15 'Relatively' in the sense of Mum & Dad, and their Mum & Dad etc. etc.

16 'many' = the usual Roman numeral + an anagram of SHIP('wreck' = the anagram indicator).

Thanks drxx.
