Thanks Chrisg

Stuck on the last one:

27D Frankincense (4) ?H?S

The only word which fits is RHUS which is a genus of tree (Stagshorn). Frankincense is the resin of trees from the genus Boswellia, so isn't a member of the Rhus family.

Any insight would be helpful.

Good afternoon, Seamus.
27d is THUS (an old word for frankincense), and also why 9D starts with "SIC"...
Hoping this helps!

Sorry, that should be 9A (don't have the grid in front of me) :-(

Thanks. All finished now.
