Can you parse it please. I cannot find a goddess cereus only ceres
c(avort) + ere(before) +us(American)
Beginning of Cere (s) + US (American)
I parsed it wrong but still got it. :-)
I am sure that the answer will be cereus but agree with Nicat. I cannot find a goddess called Cereus re Danny's parse and Tilly's parse does not have the definition for Cereus.

poor clue
I can see the parse but assumed that goddess was a definition and as Nicat points out it does not quite work.
I think this is a setter's error.Will check later.
Spoke to the Telegraph. They will look into it and ring back.
Thank you Danny.

Thanks for all your inputs. I am glad I wasn't being stupid!
Clue online now changed to:
Plant first of crops before American (6)
Good, that was quick.
Question Author
That makes more sense
Question Author
It now says Cactus goddess planted outside university (6) which is a much better clue
Just rung me back to say correct clue is Cactus Goddess planted outside university.
What a thorny problem. :-)
