Plant English or Greek character in plot (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
bee orchid
'plant' is the definition.
(bee orchid is a kind of plant)
'english or greek character in plot' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'greek character' becomes 'chi' (letter from the Greek alphabet).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'plot' becomes 'bed' (bed is a kind of plot).
'e'+'or'+'chi'='eorchi'
'eorchi' put into 'bed' is 'BEE ORCHID'.
(Another definition for bee orchid that I've seen is " Plant with flower mimicking an insect".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
