Thinly scattered (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sparse

'thinly scattered' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sparse that I've seen before include "Thinly scattered, not dense" , "Thinly dispersed" , "Thinly populated" , "Thin on the ground, scarce" , "Meagre, thin on the ground" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, the Newsday, The Guardian, The Irish Times, the Newsday.com, the Universal and The Times.
