Plant list came, which needs editing (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clematis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'plant' is the definition.
(type of plant)

'list came which needs editing' is the wordplay.
'list came' can be anagrammed to 'CLEMATIS'.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clematis that I've seen before include "it may cover walls" , "Does a camel sit oddly on this plant?" , "flower" , "Ornamental climber" , "Popular climbing plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
