Present a plant (5)

I believe the answer is:

hosta

'plant' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

'present a' is the wordplay.
'present' becomes 'host' (I've seen this before).
'host'+'a'='HOSTA'

(Other definitions for hosta that I've seen before include "Ornamental foliage plant; as hot (anag.)" , "flowering plant" , "Garden plant with ornamental foliage" , "Athos (anag) - perennial plant" , "leafy plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Independent.
