A Grammatical Dictionary of Botanical Latin

indurescens,-entis (part.B): hardening, to become hard [> L induresco,-durui, 3. to become hard, harden]. Note that some botanists write this verb with an ‘a’: indurascens,-antis (part.B), but the classical spelling is with an ‘e’; cf. “indurascens. “Hardening by degrees, as the permanent petioles of a Tragacanth bush” (Lindley). The -ascent form is said to derive from the 1st conjugation induro,-avi,-atum L.; cf. percallescens,-entis (part.B): becoming very hard or callous;

- gelatina in globulos indurascente, nec in farinam illico soluta (S&A), the gelatine hardening into globules, not immediately breaking up into a dust [i.e. a meal or flour].

A work in progress, presently with preliminary A through R, and S, and with S (in part) through Z essentially completed.
