Individual after different name for plant (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anemone

'plant' is the definition.
(anemone is a kind of plant)

'individual after different name' is the wordplay.
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'different' is an anagram indicator.
'name' with letters rearranged gives 'anem'.
'one' put after 'anem' is 'ANEMONE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for anemone that I've seen before include "Flower; marine creature" , "Colourful plant of buttercup family" , "A flower; mean one (anag.)" , "Growth" , "Flower; marine polyp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
