Iris-family plant (7)
I believe the answer is:
freesia
'iris-family plant' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for freesia that I've seen before include "Fragrant-flowered plant; faeries (anag.)" , "Highly scented flower" , "Is the sea rife with these strange flowers?" , "Fragrant flower (sounds rather cold?)" , "See fair for fragrant flowers" .)
