Plant, small, found with fruit and a lot of money (9)
I believe the answer is:
spearmint
'plant' is the definition.
(spearmint is a kind of plant)
'small found with fruit and a lot of money' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'found with' says to put letters next to each other.
'fruit' becomes 'pear' (pear is a kind of fruit).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'a lot of money' becomes 'mint' (I've seen this in another clue).
's'+'pear'+'mint'='SPEARMINT'
(Other definitions for spearmint that I've seen before include "Garden flavouring" , "Strongly flavoured herb" , "Herb used for flavouring" , "fresh flavour" , "Aromatic plant" .)
