A herb (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thyme

'a herb' is the definition.
(I know that thyme is a type of Herb)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for thyme that I've seen before include "Shrub - herb" , "Shrubby herb" , "Aromatic culinary herb; sounds like occasion" , "Plant of the mint family" , "Ingredient in cooking" .)

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