Ipp
The Ipp is a species of tree native to the Flanaess, averaging 60 feet or more in height, and are often taller than even oaks which are hundreds of years old.[1] A subspecies, the ipt, is taller still.[2] In the Welkwood, ipts grow to more than 40 taller than the average ipp.[3] Ipps live for centuries and are seldom attacked by illness or disease. They both have greenish bark and emerald green, hand-shaped leaves.[2]
The Gnarley Forest is densely populated with ipps alongside oaks[4] and "the small northern fringe of the Gnarley Forest is logged for a moderate yield of ipp."[5] Folklore says elves of Clan Meldarin in the Gnarley are "able to predict the weather a week ahead simply by inspecting moss on an ipp tree."[6]
Ipp wood is not commonly used in making weapons, though it is suited for many other purposes and can be easily dried and treated.[2]
Ipp candles are made from a mixture of tallow and Ipp tree sap. They illuminate truly little, even less than a normal candle. They are known, however, for keeping normal insects and pests away. [7]
Ipt trees make favored homes for sylvan elves, especially in Verbobonc.[8]
