Collected tropical medicine bottles (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

calm

'collected' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tropical medicine bottles' is the wordplay.
'bottles' indicates a hidden word (bottling is a kind of containing).
'CALM' is hidden within 'tropical medicine'.

(Other definitions for calm that I've seen before include "Peaceful, undisturbed" , "Composed or free from storms" , "Self-possessed" , "'After a storm comes a ....'" , "Pacific" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
