Is there anything like Yellowbottom leaf?...that might be it, if anyone knows if this exists.

Z is for...Well, the dwarves seem to be very fond of the letter "Z", and have many names for flora and fauna beginning with that letter.

Unfortunately, they're a secret.

Which brings us back to "A". Anyone want to suggest a theme?

A is for Argonath, enormous statues of Isildur and Anarion, which guard the entrance to Nen Hithoel.

Come on everyone. You can get a little more substantial on the definitions!
