The botanist's beard? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awn

'the botanist's beard?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for awn that I've seen before include "Beard of plant" , "Beard growing from an ear of barley or rye" , "Bristly growth" , "Grass "beard"" , "Bristles" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
