Ladybird originally found in cigar-shaped plant (6)
I believe the answer is:
garlic
'plant' is the definition.
The answer is an example.
'ladybird originally found in cigar-shaped' is the wordplay.
'originally' indicates taking the first letters.
'found in' is an insertion indicator.
'shaped' indicates anagramming the letters.
The initial letter of 'ladybird' is 'l'.
'cigar' anagrammed gives 'garic'.
'l' put into 'garic' is 'GARLIC'.
(Other definitions for garlic that I've seen before include "Pungent edible bulb" , "Food flavouring not favoured by vampires?" , "Flavouring bulb" , "Allium sativum" , "Pungent member of onion family" .)
