Spot the Frippet: something crinite.

You won't have to look far to find something crinite.

Crinite is a biological term meaning covered with soft hairs or tufts...

...a child's arm, perhaps, or a lady's cheek.

A leaf, a flower:


The critically endangered crinite marposa lily, found only in a single country of Oregon. And so beautiful!

a moth:

On the other hand, crinite can be a rock made up of the skeletons of sea lilies and feather stars:

But I must admit you're not likely to have any of that to hand.

Spot the Frippet: something crinite. The hair word comes from the Latin crīnītus, which means hairy. The rock word comes from the Greek krinon, which means lily.

Any connection is probably coincidental.
