Leaves from orchid CIA cultivated (9)
I believe the answer is:
radicchio
'leaves' is the definition.
(I know that radicchio is a type of leaf vegetable)
'orchid cia cultivated' is the wordplay.
'cultivated' is an anagram indicator.
'orchid'+'cia'='orchidcia'
'orchidcia' is an anagram of 'RADICCHIO'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for radicchio that I've seen before include "Italian chicory" , "Variety of chicory - I hid a croc (anag)" , "Dark-red-leaf salad plant" , "leaves bitter taste" , "Salad ingredient" .)
