Nonsense; plant (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhubarb

This clue is a double definition.

'nonsense' is the first definition.
(rhubarb can mean nonsense or rubbish)

'plant' is the second definition.
(rhubarb is a kind of plant)

(Other definitions for rhubarb that I've seen before include "Possibly sweet" , "Actors' muttering to simulate conversation" , "Rheum rhaponticum" , "bitter stuff" , "Reddish leafstalks cooked and eaten as fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
