23d - Merchants, bent, taking one in (6) I have B?NAAS, which clearly can't be right, but I seem to have worked my way into a corner. Help! Thank you

bunias?

[depresion]

I know it is a type of salad plant (rocket), but don't see how it fits the clue. There are very few words which seem to fit the letters which I know are right, and none of them seem to make sense. (Every week I say I'm not going to do the AZED 'cos it's ludicrously obscure, but every week I battle with it. Why?) Thanks mac44
