tree nymphs
Woodland guardian maidens
Tree nymphs are mythological spirits inhabiting trees, from Greek and Roman tradition.
Called dryads or hamadryads, they were depicted as beautiful young women whose lives were bound to their trees—when the tree died, so did its nymph.
The term appears in fantasy literature and sometimes describes tree-dwelling butterflies of the genus *Idea*.
