This was a question in the Daily Express Big Monday Crossword on Dec 24 2007. So I looked in Wiki - no answer! However, I found this definition in Farleys Free Online Dictionary:
Briar or Brier
1. A Mediterranean shrub or small tree (Erica arborea) whose hard, woody roots are used to make tobacco pipes.
2. A pipe made from the root of this plant or from a similar wood. ---- [French bruyère, heath, from Old French, from Vulgar Latin *brcria, from Late Latin brcus, heather, of Celtic origin; see wer-2 in Indo-European roots.]
The answer ERICA fitted the crossword, so I guess that's it!
