Nihon Kokugo Daijisen includes a headword “孳息・滋息”, which it glosses as “生まれふえること。” (“an increase in births”). The dictionary gives one example from Nihon gaishi (1827) written as 滋息, and one use in Shokubutsu shōgaku (Matsumura and Itō 1881) written 孳息. The Matsumura and Itō quote as given in NKD is:

植(しょく)物(ぶつ)は生(せい)活(かつ)の機(から)関(くり)ありて動(どう)物(ぶつ)の如(ごと)く飲(いん)食(しょく)し長(ちょう)育(いく)し孳(じ)息(そく)す

shokubutsu wa seikatsu no karakuri arite dōbutsu no gotoku inshoku shi chōiku shi jisoku su

the mechanism of plant life is much as animals, eating and drinking, raising the next generation, bearing offspring
