Crossword Genius

Venezuelan flower for womble (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orinoco

This clue is a double definition.

'venezuelan flower' is the first definition.
(Venezuelan river - something which flows)

'womble' is the second definition.
(character in The Wombles)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for orinoco that I've seen before include "River of South America" , "Colombia/Venezuela river" , "Venezuelan river; one of Wombles" , "Great river in the north of S America, flows through Venezuela" , "Great river flowing through Venezuela to Atlantic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
