  Primine  \Pri"mine\,  n.  [L.  primus  first:  cf  F.  primine.]  (Bot.) 
  The  outermost  of  the  two  integuments  of  an  ovule. 
 
  Note:  This  word  has  been  used  by  some  writers  to  denote  the 
  inner  integument,  which  is  formed  earlier  than  the 
  outer.  Cf  {Secundine}.
