Medical tube (middle omitted) - put in a member as a plant (9)
I believe the answer is:
campanula
'a plant' is the definition.
(campanula is a kind of plant)
'medical tube middle omitted put in a member' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'middle' could be 'm' (abbreviation for middle) and 'm' is found in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for campanula that I've seen before include "Bell-shaped flower" , "Plant" , "Bell flower" .)
