…or: WOOD for KEEPING SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE OUT-OF-REACH OF MEATUS AND GLANS

Plant representing the「good health of one's glans penis, meatus」perhaps offered a bit late if the guy has already died. STAR ANISE is used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of skin problems related to lesions and chancres due to syphilis. Elements are suggestive of obscuring the true reason for death by covering the area of infection, as the FINAL NICE GESTURE, GRAVE OFFERING for a deceased person's corpse prior to cremation or burial…today in the West a closed casket funeral is used for these reasons. See the alternative form 櫁 (「woody with gooey honey, covered with sweetness」) that includes the「worm, snake, pathogens」element in place of「glans, LAVA flow from volcanic shape」since the gonorrhea bacteria living in the genitals was still likely flowing copiously after the death of the host.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Japanese: Japanese star anise
Unihan extended: a tree whose branches are placed on Buddhist graves
EDRDG: tree whose branches are placed on Buddhist graves

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
