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.
5 of these 7 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.
