Lavaralda

A tree from Eressëa brought to Númenor by the Eldar. It had long green leaves which were golden on the undersides. Its flowers were pale with a yellow brush and a faint but clear odour who brought rest and great content. Lavaralda flowered in thick branches and it rested from flowering only at seldom and rare times. After the downfall of Númenor they were not found within the circles of the world "...and they were remembered in many songs long after they had perished for ever, for few ever flowered east of the Land of Gift" Of those that ever did grow east of Númenor only the Malinornë is named.

2 Age.

Lavaralda, among the other trees brought to Númenor, grew mostly up the sheltered seaward slopes of Nísimaldar in the Bay of Eldanna but they also spread far east into the land.

It is said the scent of the tree could be felt long before the vessels of Númenor came in sight of the isle and it brought a desire of rest and great content as a remembrance in the trees of the people and land of Eressëa
