En vertu des associations rencontrées dans la nature, nous comprendrons assez largement le terme de granite, qui pourra englober des roches quartziques faisant transition avec d'autres roches plutoniques : transition à des syénites par diminution de la proportion de quartz; à des diorites quartziques par accroissement de celle des plagioclases. On emploie [...] la dénomination de «granitoïdes» pour l'ensemble de ce genre de roches qui comprend naturellement les granites proprement dits. 5, record 1, French, - granito%C3%AFde
