Ladies' fingers (4)
I believe the answer is:
okra
'ladies' fingers' is the definition.
(ladies' fingers is a name for the okra plant)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for okra that I've seen before include "Tropical plant with edible pods" , "Long green tropical vegetable" , "Ladies' fingers with edible pods" , "Pod eaten in soups, stews etc" , "Bhindi or lady's finger" .)
