Scots emblem in the list wrongly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thistle

'scots emblem' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in the list wrongly' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'wrongly' indicates an anagram.
'list' with letters rearranged gives 'istl'.
'the' enclosing 'istl' is 'THISTLE'.

(Other definitions for thistle that I've seen before include "Prickly plant (Carduus)" , "Lithest kind of prickly plant" , "Flower of Scotland" , "Scottish flower" , "Lithest (anag) - plant" .)
