Confined to one locale (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endemic

(Other definitions for endemic that I've seen before include "Prevalent in a district - dice men (anag)" , "Men dice in way commonly found in country or place" , "Only found in a particular region, or regions" , "(Of a disease) prevalent in a group or area" , "Widely prevalent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
