Cassava (5)

I believe the answer is:

yucca

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for yucca that I've seen before include "North American evergreen plant with sword-shaped leaves" , "Plant of agave family" , "Plant of the Agavaceae family" , "The Joshua Tree'" , "Adam's Needle plant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Canadiana, The Telegraph and The Times.
