For the wedding celebration of Aldarion and Erendis, the Eldar sailed to Númenor, and their ship was filled with flowers. Among them was elanor, which was still known in Middle-earth long afterwards, and another flower, lissuin, that is not mentioned elsewhere. Lissuin was said to have a sweet and calming fragrance. Directly translated, its name means 'honeysuckle', and it may be that lissuin was simply the Elves' name for the flower we know today by that name.
