Local plants I'd taken from coastal state (5)
I believe the answer is:
flora
'local plants' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'i'd taken from coastal state' is the wordplay.
'taken from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'coastal state' becomes 'florida'.
'florida' with 'id' taken away is 'FLORA'.
(Other definitions for flora that I've seen before include "growing things" , "The plants of an area (5)" , "Lots of plants" , "For example, Miss Macdonald" , "Botanical specimens" .)
