Plant genre improves in process (7,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evening primrose

'plant' is the definition.
(evening primrose is a kind of plant)

'genre improves in process' is the wordplay.
'process' indicates anagramming the letters.
'genre'+'improves'+'in'='genreimprovesin'
'genreimprovesin' with letters rearranged gives 'EVENING-PRIMROSE'.

(Other definitions for evening primrose that I've seen before include "source of oil" , "flowering plant" , "Herbal remedy" , "type of oil" , "Bloomer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
