Hm, I see what you mean. I've looked through the article again, and can see exactly why I didn't include it. It doesn't really fit into this article as a species of plant; nor are its connotations in the least botanical. The article isn't a list, either. Probably best to stay as we are on this one.

I'm extremely reluctant to bolt on "a single sentence" as that would inevitably be of the form "And another plant of importance is..." which is the worst sort of piecemeal list-construction. I've added a section on symbolism; this obviously overlaps with the
Christianity article and the
Two Trees of Valinor, but there it is.
