Mark of disgrace; part of a flower (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stigma

This clue is a double definition.

'mark of disgrace' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'part of a flower' is the second definition.
(I know this)

(Other definitions for stigma that I've seen before include "Disgraceful sign" , "Badge of shame" , "Mark of dishonour" , "evidence of nastiness?" , "Mark of shame or social disgrace" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
