Points to identical seed (6)
I believe the answer is:
sesame
'seed' is the definition.
(sesame seed is a kind of seed)
'points to identical' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'se'.
'to identical' becomes 'same' (similar in meaning).
'se'+'same'='SESAME'
(Other definitions for sesame that I've seen before include "Open ...., says the magician" , "Oil-rich seed plant" , "Open ...... is magic phrase for opening door in pantomime" , "Oil-producing plant" , "'Open . . . . . .'' is a magic phrase to gain access" .)
