Put map on top of table (5)
I believe the answer is:
plant
'put' is the definition.
(planting is a kind of putting)
'map on top of table' is the wordplay.
'map' becomes 'plan' (I've seen this before).
'on top of' suggests taking the first letters (I've seen 'on top' mean this).
The first letter of 'table' is 't'.
'plan'+'t'='PLANT'
(Other definitions for plant that I've seen before include "Growing organism - industrial buildings" , "Factory equipment" , "Put in soil" , "Member of vegetable kingdom" , "that goes to pot" .)
