Area people raised with single plant (7)
I believe the answer is:
anemone
'plant' is the definition.
The answer is an example.
'area people raised with single' is the wordplay.
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'people' becomes 'men' (man is a kind of person).
'raised' is a reversal indicator.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'single' becomes 'one' (I've seen this before).
'men' back-to-front is 'nem'.
'a'+'nem'+'one'='ANEMONE'
(Other definitions for anemone that I've seen before include "A flower; mean one (anag.)" , "Plant; sea creature" , "bloomer" , "Kind of buttercup with white or coloured flowers" , "Woodland plant, eg the windflower" .)
