What 蒾 means

It is the second character in names for a viburnum shrub.

The Chinese plant name is 莢蒾 in traditional characters and 荚蒾 in simplified ones; in Japanese, 蒾 appears in the plant name ガマズミ. It is a specialist botanical element, not a general chat expression.

The Chinese dictionary 集韻 records 蒾; the earlier dictionary 說文 does not. The later Kangxi Dictionary cites sources that connect the plant with two other names, 挈橀 and 羿先.

Specialist botanical use, not ordinary chat.

Alone, 蒾 reads as an unexplained plant-name fragment.
