In the fantasy world of J. R. R. Tolkien, Nimloth, Sindarin for "white blossom",[1] was the name of the White Tree of Númenor. Nimloth was a seedling of Celeborn, which was a seedling of Galathilion, which was created by Yavanna in the image of Telperion, one of the Two Trees of Valinor.
When the Númenóreans came under the influence of Sauron, they cut down Nimloth as a sacrifice to Melkor. Isildur saved one of the fruits of the tree and from it came the white trees of Gondor.
Nimloth was also the name of the daughter of Galathil, son of Galadhon, son of Elmo. Elmo is the brother of Olwë and Elwë. Nimloth later married Dior the Beautiful, her second cousin once removed. Her children were Eluréd, Elurín and Elwing. She was known also as Lady Lindis.
She was later slain in the Kinslaying of Menegroth.
