Pot plant discovered in active flora? (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

african violet

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

'pot plant' is the definition.
'African violet' can be an answer for 'plant' (African violet is an example). I'm unsure of the 'pot' bit.

'in active flora?' is the wordplay.
'in active flora' can be anagrammed to 'AFRICAN VIOLET'.
Though, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'discovered' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for african violet that I've seen before include "Indoor flowering plant" , "House plant with hairy leaves" , "Popular house plant" , "Flower" , "Inactive flora (anag) - popular pot plant" .)
