Amphibian pecked aquatic plant (7)
I believe the answer is:
frogbit
'aquatic plant' is the definition.
(frogbit is a kind of aquatic plant)
'amphibian pecked' is the wordplay.
'amphibian' becomes 'frog' (frog is a kind of amphibian).
'pecked' becomes 'bit' (I've seen this in other clues).
'frog'+'bit'='FROGBIT'
(Another definition for frogbit that I've seen is " aquatic plant".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
