Southern Star

Southern Star was a variety of pipe-weed grown in the Southfarthing of the Shire, and apparently originating in the district around Longbottom. The 'star' of its name presumably refers to the star-shaped flowers of the pipe-weed plant.

Other versions of the legendarium

In the second (out of seven) drafts of Prologue, "Southern Star" was originally named "Hornpipe Twist".
