Madhuka
Madhuka is both Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and Madhuka (Madhuca longifolia). Through the mahakashaya and most ganas it is read as Yashtimadhu. In Nyagrodhadi, a group of latex-bearing trees, it is Madhuca longifolia — the group decides the reading.
This group also lists Savararodhra beside Rodhra; both resolve to the same entry in this library. This group also lists Rodhra beside Savararodhra; both resolve to the same entry in this library. The texts may intend two varieties or two parts of one plant.
1 of these 11 names are not yet written up in Laisha's dravya library. The group is printed whole either way, because a gana with members quietly left out is not the gana.
