Spice derived from dried stigmas of a particular crocus (7)

I believe the answer is:

saffron

(Other definitions for saffron that I've seen before include "Spice from crocuses" , "Fans for, say orange food flavour and colouring" , "Flavouring derived from a species of crocus" , "- - Walden" , "Yellow spice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
