Ocoxochitl (MH778r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Ocoxochitl (a medicinal plant, but literally, "Pitch Pine Flower") is attested here as a man's name. The glyph shows two small branches with leaves. At the top of each branch is a squiggly line, and at the bottom of the plant another one appears. The appearance of these plant features coincide better with a reading of the name as a medicinal plant, rather than the flower of a pitch pine.
