A poster about grass (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esparto

'grass' is the definition.
(type of grass plant)

'a poster about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'poster'='aposter'
'aposter' anagrammed gives 'ESPARTO'.

(Other definitions for esparto that I've seen before include "Tough, coarse grass" , "Coarse type of grass" , "Source of paper" , "Rope-making process" , "A poster (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
