Plant an oribi chewed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

robinia

'plant' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

'an oribi chewed' is the wordplay.
'chewed' indicates an anagram.
'an'+'oribi'='anoribi'
'anoribi' is an anagram of 'ROBINIA'.

(Other definitions for robinia that I've seen before include "Plant" , "Shrub of the false acacia genus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
