A plant no lady has a name for (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gentian

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

'a plant' is the definition.
(gentian is a kind of plant)

'no lady has a name for' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'no' could be 'n' (common abbreviation) and 'n' is found within the answer.
'name' could be 'ian' and 'ian' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'get' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gentian that I've seen before include "Small deep blue flower" , "Flower - antigen (anag)" , "Mountain plant with purple flowers" , "Violet's partner" , "Blue, violet alpine plant" .)
