Plant; instrument (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

viola

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'plant' is the first definition.
(viola is a kind of plant)

'instrument' is the second definition.
(viola is a kind of instrument)

(Other definitions for viola that I've seen before include "whose player takes a bow" , "that provides music" , "Sebastian's twin (Twelfth Night)" , "Shakespearean role" , "Instrument slightly larger than violin and of lower pitch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
