Stinging plants (7)
I believe the answer is:
nettles
'stinging plants' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for nettles that I've seen before include "One acting Chief Inspector on TV" , "Irritates" , "Plants with stinging hairs" .)
I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Evening Standard, The Star Tribune, The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror and The Sun.
