I believe they are saying that the ecology of the plants are the fallowing.
Parues-> taues-> tombe-> feybeast
Even so, it seems to be baseless speculation. There is no indication in the series that parues and taues are the same. One is a hard fruit filled with a thick white juice and a hefty amount of oil and pulp, while the other is more like a red water balloon. Trombes are giant, mobile, summertime ecological disasters, while parues are winter treats. That’s too much of a jump for me without any specific hints.

Also they are implying that humans are applying the last bit of mana for the parues plants to activate before the noon timeline, though unknowingly.
This is also unsupported in the text. There’s no indication that any amount of additional mana is required, only warmth. Once picked and taken from the tree, a small ember is enough to pierce straight through the hard surface of the parue. It requires more assumptions to say that one of the two acts requiring heat actually requires mana instead. That doesn’t mean it isn’t true, and it’s entirely possible that I missed something that supports it. As far as I can tell, however, it directly contradicts what we’re told.
