Crossword Genius

Ammo is transported from plant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mimosa

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

'ammo is transported' is the wordplay.
'transported' indicates an anagram.
'ammo'+'is'='ammois'
'ammois' anagrammed gives 'MIMOSA'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for mimosa that I've seen before include "Variety of acacia" , "Tropical tree with yellow flowers" , "One growing sensitive" , "Tropical shrub with yellow flowers" , "Shrub - I'm Amos (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
