The holm-oak
Duritie nimia[1] quòd sese rumperet ilex,
Symbola civilis seditionis habet.
Because the holm-oak splits spontaneously through excessive inflexibility, it provides symbols for civic discord.
1. Duritie nimia, ‘excessive inflexibility’. Cf. Pliny, Natural History, 16.73.186 (tota ossea est ilex, ‘the holm-oak is entirely bone-like’).

Le pin.
XXXV.
Ce que nuls rejectons du tronc du pin ne naissent:
Marque ceux qui mourans nuls enfans ne delaissent.
Commentaires.
Celuy n’est pas digne de naistre au monde, qui
n’y en fait point naistre d’autre. Le pin est le symbole
de ceux qui ne se marient point, ou qui sont steriles.
Car le pin ne fait point de rejectons.
