Common office plant (4)
I believe the answer is:
fern
'common office plant' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for fern that I've seen before include "Often shady plant" , "A frond is its leaf" , "Plant producing spores" , "Plant with featherlike leaves" , "Feathery frond plant" .)
