[96] οὐχ ὁρᾷς ὅσαι μὲν ἡμέρων φυτῶν ὗλαι, ὅσαι δὲ ἀγρίων κατὰ πᾶν μέρος τῆς γῆς ἀνακέχυνται; τούτων τῶν δένδρων ἕκαστον,
ἄχρι μὲν ὑγιαίνει τὸ στέλεχος, ἅμα τῷ καρπῷ καὶ τὸ ὄχευμα τίκτει, μήκει δὲ χρόνων ἀφαυανθὲν ἢ καὶ ἄλλως αὐταῖς ῥίζαις φθαρὲν οὐδέποτε τὴν ἀνάλυσιν εἰς σπέρμα ἔλαβεν.

[96] Do you not see how many materials of plants susceptible of cultivation there are, and how many kinds of wild plants too are diffused over every portion of the earth? Every one of these trees, as long as the trunk is in good health, together with its fruit, produces also a seed to propagate its species; but becoming destroyed after a lapse of time, and being wholly withered, roots and all, it never becomes resolved into a ripened seed.
