At a guess, I'd say the Chambers' Dictionary entry takes the form it
does in order to cover such eventualities; Collins has much the same
definition. This surmise is because a cutting certainly isn't a plant
in most people's everyday speech; and the broader definition isn't
quite in line with the first edition of the OED.
