Indolirenkaan

Indolirenkaan is a fictional plant species that appears in the world-building of the author J.R.R. Tolkien. While not explicitly named in his published works, details about this plant can be found in his posthumously published writings, particularly in *The Peoples of Middle-earth*. It is described as a type of flower or herb found in the Shire, a region inhabited by Hobbits.

The plant is notable for its association with a specific type of preparation or use by the Hobbits. It is mentioned that indolirenkaan was used to make a particular kind of stew or dish. The exact flavor or properties of indolirenkaan are not detailed, but its inclusion in Hobbit cuisine suggests it was a common and perhaps valued ingredient in their diet. The name itself, "indolirenkaan," is presented as a Hobbitish term. Tolkien often created unique languages and naming conventions for his various races, and this name fits within that established pattern. Its existence underscores the depth of detail Tolkien applied to even the most mundane aspects of his fictional world, such as the plants and food of the Shire.
