Crossword Genius

Irritates plants (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nettles

I believe this is a double definition.

'irritates' is the first definition.
('nettle' can be a synonym of 'irritate')

'plants' is the second definition.
The answer is an example.

(Other definitions for nettles that I've seen before include "Irritates" , "One acting Chief Inspector on TV" , "Plants with stinging hairs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
