Leaf

The Pipe-weed of the Hobbits

A broad name for the plant cultivated by the hobbits for smoking, and for that reason more commonly known as 'Halflings' Leaf'. It had many other names besides, from the plain 'pipe-weed' or 'westmansweed' to its more elegant name among the Dúnedain, 'sweet galenas'.
