Plant anatomy

A Swiss physician and botanist, Gaspard Bauhin, introduced binomial nomenclature into plant taxonomy.

[6] In the eighteenth century, Carl Linnaeus established taxonomy based on structure, and his early work was with plant anatomy.

While the exact structural level which is to be considered to be scientifically valid for comparison and differentiation has changed with the growth of knowledge, the basic principles were established by Linnaeus.

He published his master work, Species Plantarum in 1753.In 1802, French botanist Charles-François Brisseau de Mirbel, published Traité d'anatomie et de physiologie végétale (Treatise on Plant Anatomy and Physiology) establishing the beginnings of the science of plant cytology.

In 1812, Johann Jacob Paul Moldenhawer published Beyträge zur Anatomie der Pflanzen, describing microscopic studies of plant tissues.

On this basis, in 1884, he published Physiologische Pflanzenanatomie (Physiological Plant Anatomy), in which he described twelve types of tissue systems (absorptive, mechanical, photosynthetic, etc.).

British paleobotanists Dunkinfield Henry Scott and William Crawford Williamson described the structures of fossilized plants at the end of the nineteenth century.
