Illustrate manufacture of rice beds (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

describe

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

'manufacture of rice beds' is the wordplay.
'manufacture of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'rice'+'beds'='ricebeds'
'ricebeds' is an anagram of 'DESCRIBE'.

(Other definitions for describe that I've seen before include "style" , "Illustrate" , "Provide image" , "Draw (figure); give account of" , "Tell what something is like" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
