Weed crushed under logs (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

groundsel

'weed' is the definition.
(groundsel is a kind of weed)

'crushed under logs' is the wordplay.
'crushed' indicates an anagram.
'under'+'logs'='underlogs'
'underlogs' is an anagram of 'GROUNDSEL'.

(Other definitions for groundsel that I've seen before include "Plant of daisy family" , "plant, unwanted?" , "feed to the birds" , "Common weed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
