Daffodils (8)
I believe the answer is:
narcissi
'daffodils' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Pale daffodils ' mean 'narcissi' so perhaps 'daffodils' could also mean 'narcissi')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for narcissi that I've seen before include "Captain in Moby Dick" , "Plants of a genus which includes daffodils" , "Spring-flowering plants" , "Flowers including daffodils and jonquils" , "Bulbous plants with yellow or white flowers" .)
