In English university Clay puts out a gum tree (10)

I believe the answer is:

eucalyptus

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

'a gum tree' is the definition.
(eucalyptus is a kind of gum tree)

'in english university clay puts out' is the wordplay.
'in english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'clay'+'puts'='clayputs'
'clayputs' anagrammed gives 'calyptus'.
'e'+'u'+'calyptus'='EUCALYPTUS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eucalyptus that I've seen before include "Australasian tree" , "Evergreen tree" , "Australian tree yielding gum and oil" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
