Our weekly competition to compose a cryptic clue to be judged by your fellow contestants.

You may enter as many clues as you like and everybody is welcome to have a go.

Feel free to explain your clue if you think it will help but please refrain from commenting on entries until voting has begun.

Entrants should vote for their favourite clue (please include the post number).

The entry with the most votes wins and its composer sets next week's competition.

Please post your clue by 12 p.m. on Friday 4th September, when voting opens; voting closes at 8 p.m.

The setter has a deciding vote in the event of a tie and may change the rules if necessary.

The setter will declare the winner and award an online prize.

The answer to be clued is:

LINNAEAN (8)

Have fun.

For some reason this site uses square brackets rather than "" for tags, but the codes are the same.

Calluna vulgaris would show as Calluna vulgaris if you replace the "" by "[]".

Inside the "" should have been < and > - they didn't show up! Also [] was meant to be [ ].
