Prickly shrub (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

gorse

holly

'prickly shrub' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for gorse that I've seen before include "Wild evergreen shrub with golden-yellow flowers" , "Prickly shrub with yellow flowers" , "Wild evergreen shrub with yellow flowers and sharp thorns" , "Prickly moorland plant" , "Welsh assembly" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, the Evening Standard, the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday, the LA Times, The Washington Post, The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, The Sun and the King Feature Syndicate.
