Plant resembling the pansy (5)
I believe the answer is:
tansy
'plant' is the definition.
(tansy is a kind of plant)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tansy that I've seen before include "Plant with yellow flowers" , "Aromatic wild plant" , "Flowering plant" , "plant for medicinal use" , "Herb used as seasoning" .)
