Plant of historic interest on the moor (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sedge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'plant of' is the definition.
'sedge' can be an answer for 'plant' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'of' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sedge that I've seen before include "Wetland grass-like plant" , "Bog plant; type of warbler" , "Plant growing in swampy ground" , "Marsh grass" , "water-loving vegetation" .)
