Comentario sobre Bikurim 3:9
רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן נַנָּס אוֹמֵר, מְעַטְּרִין אֶת הַבִּכּוּרִים חוּץ מִשִּׁבְעַת הַמִּינִים. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, אֵין מְעַטְּרִין אֶת הַבִּכּוּרִים אֶלָּא מִשִּׁבְעַת הַמִּינִים:
El rabino Shimon ben Nanas dijo, uno puede adornar el Bikkurim [canasta con especies] fuera de las siete especies. El rabino Akiva dijo que los Bikkurim pueden estar adornados solo con las siete especies.

מעטרים את הבכורים חוץ משבעת המינים – they surround the baskets containing the First Fruits with nice and praiseworthy fruits. And even though they are not from the Seven Species, such as quince and Etrog and others like these. And the same law applies if they are able to decorate it [the basket of the First Fruits] from fruit that grew outside the Land of Israel.

English Explanation of Mishnah Bikkurim
Rabbi Shimon ben Nanas says: they would decorate the bikkurim [with produce] other than the seven species. According to Rabbi Shimon ben Nanas, they were allowed to decorate the bikkurim baskets with any kind of produce, even produce that is not one of the seven species from which one brings bikkurim.

English Explanation of Mishnah Bikkurim
But Rabbi Akiva says: they may decorate only with produce of the seven kinds. Rabbi Akiva says that just as the bikkurim themselves come only from the seven species, so too the fruits used as decoration may come only from the seven species. He seems to be concerned lest it seem that they are bringing bikkurim from other species, and therefore he rules that even decorative produce must also be of the seven species.
