Malus medica.
The citron
Aurea sunt Veneris poma haec: iucundus amaror
Indicat, est Graecis sic γλυκυπίκρος amor.[1]
These golden fruits belong to Venus: the sweet bitterness tells us that. Even so is love glukupikros for the Greeks.

Amygdalus.
The almond
Cur properans foliis praemittis amygdale flores?
Odi pupillos praecocis ingenii.[1]
Almond tree, why are you in such a hurry to put out flowers before your leaves? I hate precocious pupils.
1. See Quintilian (Fabius Quintilianus), Institutio oratoria, 1.3.3: “the precocious type of intellect never easily comes to fruition”.
