1807T. Thomson Chem. (ed. 3) II. 317 The other three [acids], namely, the uric, rosacic, and amniotic, are never employed as instruments of analysis. 1826Henry Elem. Chem. II. 415 According to Proust,..this sediment contains, mixed with uric acid and phosphate of lime, a peculiar acid, which he terms the rosacic, from its resemblance in colour to the rose. 1841Penny Cycl.
