I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kindling material from variety' is the definition.
'brushwood' can be an answer for 'kindling' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'material from variety' bit.

'of shrub near the copse' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'near the' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'copse' becomes 'wood' (I've seen this in another clue).
'shrub' is an anagram of 'brush'.
'brush'+'wood'='BRUSHWOOD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for brushwood that I've seen is " Lopped branches".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
