Plant; mollusc (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

periwinkle

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'mollusc' is the second definition.
(I know that periwinkle is a type of sea snail)

(Other definitions for periwinkle that I've seen before include "Plant; mollusc" , "Tiny seafood item - purplish-blue shade" , "Plant with five-petalled flowers" , "Evergreen creeper" , "This plant may be poisonous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
