What's the difference between pelargonic and pelargonium?

Pelargonic

Definition:

(a.) Pertaining to, or designating, an organic acid (called also nonoic acid) found in the leaves of the geranium (Pelargonium) and allied plants.

Example Sentences:

(1) The ticks were not attracted to the other components of the pheromone: methyl-salicylate and pelargonic acid.
(2) The esterases of M lysodeicticus were more specific than the esterases of S. marcescens by a factor of 30 during hydrolysis of the equimolar mixture of methyl ester of pelargonic acid and ethyl ester of caprylic acid.
(3) The effect on diarrhoeal disease of an acidified, modified powdered cow's milk infant formula (Pelargon) was evaluated in 82 infants (Group I) for six months; 104 infants who received the same formula but non acidified, served as controls (Group II).
(4) Among biotin intermediates, dethiobiotin and 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid reversed the inhibition by TVA, while 7-keto-8-amino-pelargonic acid and pimelic acid did not.
(5) Pimelic, pelargonic and pelargonylhydroxamic acids had no growth requirement for or growth-promoting effect on any of the bacteria or yeasts tested.
(6) Treatments were no supplemental triglyceride, 500 ml of odd-carbon, medium-chain triglyceride (fatty acid composition: 100% pelargonic acid), or 500 ml of even-carbon, medium-chain triglyceride (fatty acid composition: 65% caproic acid, 35% capric acid) added daily to a total mixed ration.

Definition:

(n.) A large genus of plants of the order Geraniaceae, differing from Geranium in having a spurred calyx and an irregular corolla.

Example Sentences:

(1) Very similar inhibition was seen with the crude exudate, rich in omega 5-anacardic acids, from glandular trichomes of an arthropod-resistant strain of geranium, Pelargonium xhortorum.
(2) A female worker has developed toxicoderma after occupational exposure to Pelargonium.
(3) We conducted comparative biochemical and electron-microscopic studies of several types of plastome and nuclear mutants of Antirrhinum majus and Pelargonium zonale.
(4) A similar labelling pattern, with incorporations of 0.06-0.1% was found for geraniol or nerol formed in leaves of Pelargonium graveolens The former results provide the best available evidence for the mevalonoid route to regular monoterpenes in higher plants.
(5) Differences in water content and degree of binding in the various stem tissues of Pelargonium hortorum were observed by magnetic resonance imaging.
