Outer layer of a seed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

testa

'outer layer of a seed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for testa that I've seen before include "cover for a seed" , "Hard shell" , "Protective covering" , "Botanical term" , "hard case" .)

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