ἀσύμφωνοι δὲ καὶ αἱ δόξαι πρὸς αὑτὰς ὅταν ἅμα τε τὰ ἔνυδρα θερμότερα ᾖ καὶ τὰ καρπιμώτερα. πολλὰ γὰρ ἄκαρπα τῶν ἐνύδρων· καὶ πάλιν ὅταν τά τε πρωϊβλαστῆ καὶ πρωΐκαρπα καὶ τὰ ἀείκαρπα καὶ ἀείφυλλα θερμὰ λέγωσιν· ὀψικαρπότατα γὰρ ὡς εἰπεῖν τὰ ἀείφυλλα. καὶ τὸ ὅλον ὥσπερ πρότερον εἴρηται, τὰ πρωϊβλαστῆ καὶ πρωΐκαρπα δι᾽ ἀσθένειαν. ἔνια δὲ παρακολουθεῖ βλαστάνοντα καὶ ἀνθοῦντα πλείω χρόνον ὥσπερ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπετείοις ὁ ἠριγέρων ἔχων δῆλον ὅτι συμμετρίαν τινὰ κατὰ τὴν ἐπιρροὴν τῆς τροφῆς.
