Crossword Genius

Woodland plant - name perplexed individual (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anemone

'woodland plant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'name perplexed individual' is the wordplay.
'perplexed' indicates an anagram.
'individual' becomes 'one'.
'name' with letters rearranged gives 'anem'.
'anem'+'one'='ANEMONE'

(Other definitions for anemone that I've seen before include "A flower; mean one (anag.)" , "Flower; marine polyp" , "White woodland flower" , "Plant; marine creature" , "Tentacled sea dweller, flower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
