Plant rot (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhubarb

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'rot' is the second definition.
(both can mean rubbish or nonsense)

(Other definitions for rhubarb that I've seen before include "Purgative stalk" , "making contribution to murmuring" , "rot" , "Plant grown for its stalks" , "Plant with edible leaf stalk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
