Asphodel Brandybuck

A daughter of Gorbadoc Brandybuck

Gorbadoc Brandybuck was a descendant of Gormadoc the Deepdelver, and Master of Brandy Hall. He had seven children, of which his daughter Asphodel was the fifth. She married Rufus Burrows, and had a son, Milo. She was also the elder sister of Primula Brandybuck, who was the mother of Frodo Baggins, and so Asphodel was one of Frodo's three aunts (alongside Amaranth Brandybuck and Dora Baggins).
