Stain part of flower (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stigma

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'stain' is the first definition.
(I know that stain can be written as stigma)

'part' is the second definition.
(stigma is a kind of part)

'of' acts as a link.

'flower' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for stigma that I've seen before include "part of plant" , "Disgraceful mark" , "Sign of disgrace" , "Part of a flower" , "Mark of infamy or disgrace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
