Flower from wood miles away (5)
I believe the answer is:
tiber
'flower' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tiber that I've seen before include "Roman river" , "Rome's river" , "Italian river with Ostia at its mouth" , "The flower of Rome" , "Italian banker" .)
