蕏 character

It appears in old Chinese plant names.

The Erya, an early Chinese glossary (a book that explains words), records 荎藸 in its plant section. This plant-name material spans the Warring States to Western Han period; 荎藸 names 五味子 (Schisandra).

Later dictionaries use 蕏 as another form of 藸 and preserve 蕏蒘 as an old grass name. The compound supplies the plant reference; 蕏 alone gives too little context for a confident reading.
