Bird surrounded by hibiscus (4)
I believe the answer is:
ibis
'bird' is the definition.
(ibis is a kind of bird)
'surrounded by hibiscus' is the wordplay.
'surrounded by' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'IBIS' is hidden within 'hibiscus'.
(Other definitions for ibis that I've seen before include "Bird with long neck and legs and a curved bill" , "Bird, sacred to ancient Egyptians" , "Eastern" , "may be sacred?" , "leggy bird" .)
