Mob boa wriggling in grass (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bamboo

'grass' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'mob boa wriggling' is the wordplay.
'wriggling' is an anagram indicator.
'mob'+'boa'='mobboa'
'mobboa' is an anagram of 'BAMBOO'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bamboo that I've seen before include "Thick tropical cane" , "Panda's staple diet" , "Treelike tropical grass" , "Giant tropical grass" , "'Tall, rigid grass (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
