Definition for POL'LEN-IN
POL'LEN-IN, n. [from pollen.]
A substance obtained from the pollen of plants. Pollenin is various as obtained from different plants, and does not appear, in any case, to be a distinct proximate principle, and therefore is not entitled to an appellation appropriated to such proximate principles.
