It is mentioned in HoME that Elves have leaf shaped ears - which was a shock because I had never imagined them thus and had grumbled to myself about it when I saw the film trailers ..then I read the relevant volume (and I can't remeber just now sorry). The word for ear in elvish is related to that for leaf and if I remember rightly Legolas' name is a bitof a pun - Legolas (green leef) sounds the same as laigo lhas ( sharp ears) :P
