Dried stalks (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

straw

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for straw that I've seen before include "remnant of harvest" , "It's clutched at in desperation" , "In the wind, it's an indication" , "Dried grain stalks" , "trifle" .)

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