Leaflet (abbr) (3)
Answer: PAM
“PAM” is an abbreviation often used for “Programme and Meeting.” However, in the context of a leaflet, it might be an uncommon or specialized abbreviation. In common puzzles, “PAM” might not typically be the first guess for an abbreviation of “leaflet.” A more typical abbreviation might be “bro” for brochure, but here, PAM might refer to a specific type of informational pamphlet.

“PEPO” is the botanical term for a type of berry with a hard outer rind, typical of the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae), which includes fruits like pumpkins and cucumbers. This is a direct definition match.

“ROSA” is the botanical genus for roses. Roses are well-known flowering plants, classified in this genus, making it a straightforward botanical definition.
Room for negotiation (abbr) (3)
Answer: ONO
This clue might typically be considered ambiguous or misprinted as “ONO” isn’t a standard abbreviation for anything relating to “room for negotiation.” However, it’s possible it could be used to represent “One on One” which is a form of direct negotiation, though this is unconventional.
