9a Could the "twisted" part of the clue refer to the "Course of the River Nile"

Just a thought ! ! !

[dannyk13]

L-i-K has suggested (se)nile which is the most likely, although I can't see how the setter equates senile with twisted

[RobertDigby]

Dash (or line) between Flower and mostly twisted, gives you Nile?

[Headbanger]

So the "correct" answer was Nile- I guess you must be right planeman. I still prefer dannyk's " Nene" (uneven) though.
