Yes, it is the same meroterpene, but cosmetic grade bakuchiol is a purified ingredient. In the fruit it occurs with psoralen and other furanocoumarins, which purified bakuchiol should be low in.
The fruit is small, single-seeded and does not split open, so it is often sold as babchi seed. The monograph defines the article as the fruit and notes that care is needed in identification.
