Give out a variety of seeds in Palau's capital (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dispense

'give out' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a variety of seeds in palau's capital' is the wordplay.
'a variety of' is an anagram indicator.
'capital' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'palau' is 'p'.
'seeds'+'in'+'p'='seedsinp'
'seedsinp' anagrammed gives 'DISPENSE'.

(Other definitions for dispense that I've seen before include "Do without - give to others" , "Dish out, medicine say" , "Deal out - needs sip (anag)" , "Execute" , "Prepare and distribute medicine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
