Plant such as cowslip (7)
I believe the answer is:
primula
'plant such as cowslip' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for primula that I've seen before include "Air plum, oddly, from this plant" , "Spring flower" , "Primrose" , "Flowering plant" , "Cowslip genus" .)
