Star is paid to move a plant of the lily family (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspidistra

'a plant of the lily family' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'star is paid to move' is the wordplay.
'to move' indicates anagramming the letters.
'star'+'is'+'paid'='starispaid'
'starispaid' is an anagram of 'ASPIDISTRA'.

(Other definitions for aspidistra that I've seen before include "Iris adapts (anag) - indoor plant" , "Huge house plant" , "The biggest - (in the world) (Gracie Fields)" , "Large houseplant" , "Plant of the lily family" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
