Plants of Númenor

Of all the beautiful sights in Númenor, the flowers and trees were considered some of the best. Those most popular are the following:


 * Ololairë One of the fragrant trees of Númenor; by tradition a bough cut from this tree was attached to the prows of Númenorean ships setting out on journeys of exploration, to ensure a safe return.
 * Lairelossë A beautifully white fragrant tree.
 * Nessamelda Grew mostly up the sheltered seaward slopes of Nísimaldar in the Bay of Eldanna but they also spread far east into the land.
 * Vardarianna Was beloved for its soft perfumes.
 * Taniquelassë A evergreen, it too was remembered for its perfume.
 * Yavannamíre was a beautiful fragrant green tree.
 * Laurinquë It grew in the area of Hyarrostar of Númenor. The Númenorians delighted in it for its long-hanging clusters of yellow flowers. Rumours told it had come of Laurelin, the Golden Tree, of Valinor but it was not true.
