Plant from Himalayas medic's wasted (10-5)
I believe the answer is:
michaelmas daisy
'plant' is the definition.
(Michaelmas daisy is an example)
'himalayas medic's wasted' is the wordplay.
'wasted' is an anagram indicator.
'himalayas'+'medics'='himalayasmedics'
'himalayasmedics' is an anagram of 'MICHAELMAS DAISY'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for michaelmas daisy that I've seen before include "Autumnal flower" , "Variety of aster" , "plant" , "Bloomer" .)
