Plants Incas over cultivated (9)
I believe the answer is:
veronicas
'plants' is the definition.
The answer is an example.
'incas over cultivated' is the wordplay.
'cultivated' indicates an anagram.
'incas'+'over'='incasover'
'incasover' with letters rearranged gives 'VERONICAS'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
