1832 tr. C. F. B. de Mirbel in J. Lindley Introd. Bot. 158 I have only discovered the quartine in ovula of which the tercine is incorporated at an early period with the secondine.
1849 J. H. Balfour Man. Bot. 226 Some authors, as Mirbel, consider the ovule in reference to the embryo, and speak of five coverings of the latter, viz., 1. primine; 2. secundine; 3. tercine, or the nucleus; 4. quartine, a temporary cellular layer, which is occasionally formed at an after period around 5. quintine, or the embryo-sac.
1876 J. Thomas Comprehensive Med. Dict. 184/1 The three coats of the seed, which in the ovule were the Tercine, Quartine, and Quintine.
