Default [Dixonary] Rd 2894: Results for ABACA

Hi all,

A pretty high scoring round and not a completely shameful D4 for my Manila
hemp. Johnny Barrs beat me, though, with his Maylasian plant leaves and
correct guess for an unnatural 5. Real winnah is Tim Lodge's grass, with a
natural 4. Is there a theme here?

Take it away, Johnny!
