I’m guessing the Paul Newman clue is from the Telegraph. Am I right? It could be be The Times but only if post-2008.

Thanks for the latest parses .
This last bunch were all from The Telegraph. Never heard of EUPHORBIA before, so cheers for that.
Why the demarcation of 2008 for The Times including an answer like PAUL NEWMAN?

The Times doesn’t permit the names of living people. Paul Newman died in 2008
