After another 2 weeks, half of the remainder would decay leaving only 25 grams of undecayed phosphorus, and so on.

再过 2 周后， 剩下的一半会腐烂， 只剩下 25 克未腐烂的磷， 依此类推。

By the end of this month, most of the species had ripened their seeds, but undecayed, still seemed to be in bloom from the numerous corolla-like involucres and whorls of chaffy scales of the composite.

到本月底，大多数物种的种子都已经成熟， 但没有腐烂， 似乎仍在盛开着无数花冠状的总苞和复合体的糠秕鳞片。
