Can anyone parse this clue for me?
14ac. Genus of shrubs and trees is found in foreign capital mainly. (8)
The answer must be PISTACIA from the letters I already have. The IS part is in the clue but I cannot work out the foreign capital bit!

The rest is an anagram of CAPITA(L). Foreign is the anagram indicator
