Is it me or is there a mistake in this weeks garden news crossword.
I have completed all but 9 across which is left

g-i-e-s

clue
"Species name meaning grey.

I always believed glauca meant grey, well blue grey anyway. Is there a
name for specifically 'grey' ?

griseus

(Think French - grise - which comes from the latin)

Latin glaucus means specifically blue/grey-green, at least it did when I
was flogging through Virgil for O-level.
