Flowerhead of chrysanthemum, belladonna, etc (5)
I believe the answer is:
umbel
'flowerhead' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'of chrysanthemum belladonna etc' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'UMBEL' can be found hidden inside 'chrysanthemum belladonna etc'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for umbel that I've seen before include "Flattish flower cluster" , "Flower cluster; blume (anag.)" , "floral cluster" , "Flower cluster (eg, of parsley family)" , "Flat-topped flower cluster" .)
