Of all the beautiful sights in Númenor, flowers and trees were considered some of the most treasured. The most common of those were the following:
- Oiolairë - One of the fragrant trees of Númenor; by tradition a bough cut from this tree was attached to the prows of Númenórean ships embarking 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 - Beloved for its soft perfumes.
- Taniquelassë - An evergreen, it too was remembered for its perfume.
- Yavannamírë - A beautiful fragrant green tree.
- Laurinquë - Grew in the area of Hyarrostar of Númenor. The Númenóreans delighted in it for its long-hanging clusters of yellow flowers. Rumours told it had come from Laurelin, the Golden Tree of Valinor, but it was not true.
- Galenas was grown in Númenor and transplanted to Middle-earth, where hobbits called it Pipe-weed and learned to smoke it. The Númenórians had grown it as an ornamental.
