Leaves on a pizza (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

basil

(Other definitions for basil that I've seen before include "Herb; man's name" , "Fragrant herb" , "Aromatic herb with purplish-green leaves" , "comic character" , "Aromatic leaves, used fresh or dried" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
