Anson was dumbstruck. It had never occured to him that the Ent might not call the plant 'ainereg'. He babbled for a moment about the Elvish translation of the word, which Andunériel had taught him, and then a little bit about various nicknames of the plant, none of which the Ent would have ever heard of.

Indeed, Greendale did not seem familiar with any of the names, and Anson was beginning to panic. He tried to describe it, but his descriptions were clumsy and inaccurate.

"My friend, I would like to help you," the Ent said patiently, "but I cannot find your plant until I know what it is."

"I'm trying," Anson cried. There was a thick silence over the group for a while, until finally Luin gave a little shout. Anson whirled around to see what she was doing when she gripped his pack and dug into it. "What in Arda...?" he exclaimed.

Luin gave another shout and produced Andunériel's sketch of the ainereg. "This is it," she said to Greendale. "Are you familiar with this plant?"
