Tree from Matabeleland (5)
I believe the answer is:
abele
'tree' is the definition.
(abele is a kind of tree)
'from matabeleland' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'ABELE' can be found hidden inside 'matabeleland'.
(Other definitions for abele that I've seen before include "Eurasian tree" , "White poplar tree" , "White poplar-tree" .)
