Round back of house, see mostly older type of plant (7)
I believe the answer is:
senecio
'type of plant' is the definition.
(senecio is a type of flowering plant)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
(Other definitions for senecio that I've seen before include "Groundsel" , "Ragwort" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
