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 Times, The Mirror, the Evening Standard, The Star Tribune, The Sun, The Independent and the Sydney Morning Herald.
