In the
FOTR book, Aragorn says of
athelas that it "grows now sparsely and only near places where [Men of the West] dwelt or camped of old; and it is not known in the North, except to some of those who wander in the Wild".
I doubt Tauriel, or any of the Mirkwood Elves, ever came in contact with
athelas. Sounds like more PJ finagling to provide filmgoers who haven't read the books with more "continuity" linking the new films with
LOTR.
