A variant or related form referring to a farinose (powdery) substance or quality; a somewhat archaic or technical botanical term.
From 'farinose' with an added suffix, this rare term appears in older scientific texts. It combines the flour-related root with specialized botanical terminology.
This is a word so specialized that it's practically extinct in modern English—it appears mainly in dusty old botanical texts describing the powdery coatings on plants!
