Meanings and usage

noun: betel nut
菁

Several unrelated senses (chive flowers, Brassica, betel nut tagged Southern Min, common reed tagged Eastern Min) share one attested reading with no sense specifically labeled Teochew; 'betel nut' (Southern Min, the family Teochew belongs to) was chosen as most plausible.
