Culumalda
Culumalda was a tree with hanging yellow blossoms that grew in Ithilien, and especially in the woods around the Field of Cormallen.
Etymology
Culumalda was intended to be the source of the name Cormallen.
Christopher Tolkien connects culumalda to the Elvish stems cul- ("golden-red") and mal- ("gold").
Helge Fauskanger has suggested that culumalda is Quenya, consisting of culuma ("orange") + alda ("tree").
Inspiration
Tolkien indicated that the tree was "prob[ably] a laburnum".
