Herbs of RUE that tolerate heated, dry soil conditions, and associated with the English words 'to rue' (to regret bitterly) are:「…various aromatic woody herbs or shrubs of the genus Ruta of the Mediterranean region and western Asia, especially the ornamental R. graveolens, having bipinnately compound leaves…, an aromatic Eurasian shrub with small yellow flowers and evergreen leaves which yield an acrid volatile oil, formerly used medicinally as a narcotic and stimulant.」

　an acrid volatile oil, used as a narcotic and stimulant: extremely odiferous bad-smelling plant, and when touched is known to cause photophytodermatitis, which is burn-like blistering of skin, due to the presence of the furanocoumarins psoralen, bergapten, and xanthotoxin on the leaf surfaces as a defense against animals. Used medicinally as a potent abortifacient (induces spontaneous abortions) and also known as the herb of repentance and herb of grace (i.e., the herb「gives another chance」). Ingestion directly leaves an excessively acrid, bitter taste in one's mouth. Normally administered by brewing the leaves in tea and drinking on an empty stomach, or by packing bruised leaves in small doses directly into an affected cavity,「buried in soil」to treat intestinal parasites or cause abortions…seems to begin describing the world of Japanese celebrity entertainment (see 蕓 as the original form of this glyph).
　「Emerging shafts, two loose and dripping」may suggest the two wooden shafts used on each end of a long scroll as the original style of BOOKS, the writing of which required SUBLIME SKILL AND TECHNIQUE, TALENT, and ARTISTIC GENIUS. Today, perhaps publishing colorful pictures in magazines, television skits, or Internet self-made videos, with less emphasis on the ability of a viewer to actually read anything with comprehension.
　「Prepubescent girl」or「emerging shafts」with「two loose and dripping, stinky.」…bound feet were often stinky, and dripping after being used for a client's ENTERTAINMENT. Nevertheless, glyph appears written in one of two ways: as「upward penises, orgy (龷) with array of stench clouds」or as「shafts emerging to form stench cloud」meaning GREAT PERFORMANCE, SUBLIME SKILL AND TECHNIQUE, TALENT, ARTISTIC GENIUS…see the original glyph (「to bury in soil」藝) for a fuller explanation.
　A PERFORMER, a DIVA:「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

　A DIVA is a highly distinguished female singer, and the word originates from「divine, a goddess, a really good singing girl」who was trained as the apprentice of a divining female, the local shaman witch doctor…「singing girl」is a euphemism for a superb sexual services provider, perhaps since she can use her tongue so well or because she causes her clientele to cry out loud and burst into hollering song. Shamans sold the services of these girls, and sold the girls themselves, too.
　「Bound feet were a mark of beauty…. Women, their families, and their husbands took great pride in tiny feet, with the ideal length, called the 'Golden Lotus,' being about 7 cm (2.75 inches) long. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」

　Scholars will tell you this refers to horticultural skill needed to grow plants with billowing clouds of fragrance and horizontal strokes added 'as emphasis' of a widening nose as the fragrance spreads, being the great skill needed for planting as a mushroom grower. Nevertheless, genitalia of both men and women can and do at times smell like mushrooms, an element present (圥) in the source glyph since mushrooms appear to be「copulating with the soil」(坴). It ought to also be mentioned that mushrooms historically have been extremely difficult to cultivate, and almost always were gathered from areas growing in the wild.
　Chinese sources describe the non-JIS glyph 𠫔 as an old elemental form of「talented arm (with hand)」(肱), resulting in「orgy of meat with talented arms and hands」or「emerging shafts arrayed with talented meat in arm/hand.」
