Fictional plants can germinate in minds, so books about them are special, more akin to seedbanks than books. Other books provide the soil.

Don't place seed books in your library without adequate quarantine. Or do you want the plants to spread and Asimov's robots to become mossy?

I left my copy of Ficciones unattended near one once. Babel's library has been overgrown by a jungle and its inhabitants are now farmers.
