蕤木 (the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 乳 + 佳 [ruí]. Note that ruí is the name of a medicinal herb. The scripture writes it with 友 as [蕤-豕+(一/ㄆ)], which is a popular form. The ruí tree resembles the wolfberry (gouqi); its fruit is called ruíren and is used as eye medicine. The Gujin zhengzi has it formed with the radical 草 and 甤 as phonetic. 甤 is pronounced the same as ruí above).
