Wasp: 'I distractedly go around houseplant' (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspidistra

'houseplant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wasp i distractedly go around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ASPIDISTRA' can be found hidden inside 'wasp i distractedly go'.

(Other definitions for aspidistra that I've seen before include "Star is paid (anag) - plant" , "Iris adapts (anag) - indoor plant" , "The biggest - (in the world) (Gracie Fields)" , "Houseplant of lily family" , "something normally developed in-house?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
