Elaeagnus multiflora var. hortensis; cultivated goumi
A variety of goumi (Elaeagnus multiflora) grown for its edible fruit. Often called 夏茱萸 (natsu-gumi) in contrast. Botanical term; in everyday contexts, simply ぐみ may be used.

Katakana spelling sometimes used in botanical contexts or for emphasis.
Rare kanji form; 茱萸 is not a jōyō kanji.
Rare kanji form; 頽子 is not a jōyō kanji.
The reading とうぐみ is a compound of 唐 (とう, 'Chinese' or 'foreign') and ぐみ (goumi). The kanji forms are ateji; the exact historical derivation is uncertain.
