However, the Missouri Botanical Garden's A Grammatical Dictionary of Botanical Latin holds no examples attesting this, instead attesting Latin glaucēdō. === Pronunciation === (British) IPA(key): /ɡlɔːˈsɛ.səns/ (US) IPA(key): /ɡlɑˈkɛ.səns/ === Noun === glaucescence (countable and uncountable, plural glaucescences) (chiefly biology) The quality of being glaucescent, the state of being a bluish-green color. ==== Translations ==== === References ===
