The picture captioned Pruina on grapes does not show grapes. It shows plums. Apart from the incorrect caption, the choice of plums is totally correct, as the latin word for plum is prunus185.101.239.220 (talk) 13:40, 18 January 2018 (UTC) FranzReply
This appears to be a coincidence, as the origin of "pruinescence" is "from Latin pruinosus 'frosted,' from pruina 'hoar-frost,'" via https://www.etymonline.com/word/pruinose
while the similar word prunus comes from "Latin pruna, neuter plural of prunum 'a plum,' a dissimilated borrowing of Greek proumnon, from proumnē 'plum tree,' a word probably, like the tree itself, of Anatolian origin and thus from a language of Asia Minor." https://www.etymonline.com/word/prune#etymonline_v_2771Urbpan (talk) 12:52, 28 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
