A satisfactory Sunday entertainment.
I would have thought that ‘bolted’ was nowhere near the dubious end of the spectrum for anagram indicators.
Re: 8d I think the problem lies with the Chambers definition.
I am not a botanist, so what does it mean. If the leaf is rising, where does it start? Under the water? In which case it must rise to the surface before being above. Is it a dead leaf or a living one? Is above the surface floating in air?
It seems a fair description for a cryptic crossword.
33ac Presumably namefree would mean both Ns gone. Nameless indicates a N less.

15ac: Thanks for explaining the definition. I think the wordplay is A in MIRE, but it could be I in MARE, taking mare³ = nightmare = very awkward situation.

33ac: I am not happy with “nameless” as an indicator to remove one of two Ns.

34ac/8dn: I share John’s concerns with these.
