[11] I am not sure why this is here. It references another Wikipedia article, Theophrastus, and that article does not mention quince, then following a link to his Enquiry into Plants, that doesn't mention quince either. Consider removal?

It's certainly a relevant fact, and it's supported by a full and (on inspection) correct citation to a chapter and section of Theophrastus's book. There is no reason why such a fact should be in the biography or book article, as these cover much broader subjects.
