Crossword Genius

Tree from Nepal, mostly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

palm

'tree' is the definition.
(palm is a kind of tree)

'from nepal mostly' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'PALM' is hidden in the letters of 'nepal mostly'.

(Other definitions for palm that I've seen before include "Sign of victory" , "Tree with no branches and large leaves" , "prize" , "Evergreen tree and part of the hand" , "Conceal in the hand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
