Plant found in that room occasionally (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taro

'plant' is the definition.
(taro is a kind of plant)

'that room occasionally' is the wordplay.
'occasionally' indicates alternate letters (letters taken at regular intervals or occasions).
'that'+'room'='thatroom'
The alternate letters of 'thatroom' are 'TARO'.

'found in' is the link.

(Other definitions for taro that I've seen before include "Chinese eddo" , "Root to eat" , "A rot turns the lily-like plant" , "Shortly pack" , "Starchy plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
