camphor tree
棆 refers specifically to the camphor tree, a type of tree known for its aromatic wood and oil.
棆 combines 木 (tree) with 侖, which likely contributes the sound リン. The character was created to name the camphor tree specifically.
The left side is 木 (tree), and the right side 侖 looks like a person under a roof with a book. Imagine a camphor tree growing beside a scholar's study, its scent drifting through the window.
For リン, picture a ring of camphor trees around a garden: ring -> リン, and the trees form a fragrant circle.
