PS Well done Denise for being the first to get this right.

@Taña Yes, please post.

Taña Dalglish Sep 15, 2015:

@ Charles Thanks. I'll do it this time! LOL! Kind of you.

@Taña I was about to post "clingstone nectarine" as an answer, but you got there first! Please post it. I think it's the only term available in English to distinguish griñón (aka. briñón, bruñón) from nectarine, and Neil needs different terms because they are different items in his list. So go for it!

Here's another reference for you:

Going into French, I found "clingstone variety" (nectarines). If you really feel that you need to differentiate. LOL!

There are also clingstone varieties of nectarines, "brugnons" in French.

The nectarine isn't a cross between a peach and a plum at all - give back the ... with the peach, there are two categories of nectarines - freestone and clingstone.

A variant, not a typo: it's in the DRAE! "griñón2.
(De briñón).
1. m. Variedad de melocotón, pequeño y sabroso, de piel lisa y muy colorada."

A small, very red, sweet, juicy nectarine. No name in English. Use the Spanish word and define in parentheses?

Typo I suggest that this is a typo for "briñon", a type of nectarine (also called "brugnon" in French), but I don't know if it has a specific name in English. The explanation in wikipedia seems to suggest that no distinction is made in English: Le terme brugnon est alors utilisé lorsque le noyau adhère à la chair, tandis que le terme nectarine est utilisé lorsque le noyau est libre. En anglais, et dans d'autres langues, seul le terme nectarine existe, indépendamment de l'adhérence du noyau. (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brugnon).
