This could be a double definition.

'buttonhole flower people' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'taxi?' is the second definition.
(I know that taxi is a type of car)

'leaving' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for car that I've seen before include "Means of transport" , "Railway carriage; vehicle" , "Hatchback, say?" , "One for the road?" , "Vehicle carrying vehicles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
