Reptile blended on each elm (9)

Solution – chameleon

A chameleon is a type of reptile – it also blends into its surroundings – which  makes this clue quite clever.  Because it uses "blended" both in that sense and in the sense of being mixed up.  If you blend or mix up the letters in "on each elm" you can also get "chameleon".
