Caught performance - one with plants (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cacti

'plants' is the definition.
(cactus is a kind of plant)

'caught performance one' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'performance' becomes 'act' (act is a kind of performance).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'c'+'act'+'i'='CACTI'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for cacti that I've seen before include "Desert features" , "Prickly Pears perhaps" , "Leafless succulents" , "Prickly plants" , "Spiny succulent plants" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
