Maple or magnolia (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tree

This clue is a double definition.

'maple' is the first definition.
(maple is a type of tree)

'magnolia' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for tree that I've seen before include "May" , "Conifer, for example" , "Tall, woody plant" , "Maybe plane" , "Stand for mugs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and The Wall Street Journal.
