Beard growing from barley or other cereals and grasses (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awn

(Other definitions for awn that I've seen before include "bit of cereal" , "Beard of plant" , "Bristle growing on barley" , "Bristles" , "Bristle on grass spikelet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
