Sort of plant that could be clone — oddity (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dicotyledon

'sort of plant' is the definition.
(dicotyledons are one of the main groups of plants)

'could be clone oddity' is the wordplay.
'could be' is an anagram indicator.
'clone'+'oddity'='cloneoddity'
'cloneoddity' is an anagram of 'DICOTYLEDON'.

'that' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
