He developed concepts of plant morphology and classification, which did not withstand the scientific scrutiny of the A Swiss physician and botanist, Pinax theatri botanici in 1596, which was the first to use this convention for naming of species. His criteria for classification included natural relationships, or 'affinities', which in many cases were structural. It was in the late 1600s that plant anatomy became refined into a modern science. Italian doctor and microscopist, Anatomia Plantarum, the first major advance in plant physiogamy since An Idea of a Philosophical History of Plants in 1672 and The Anatomy of Plants in 1682. Grew is credited with the recognition of plant cells, although he called them 'vesicles' and 'bladders'. He correctly identified and described the sexual organs of plants (flowers) and their parts. In the eighteenth century, Species Plantarum in 1753. In 1802, French botanist Traité d'anatomie et d...

Get out your notebooks – it’s time for a lesson in flower anatomy! Most of us know about petals and stems, but for you with curious minds, here’s a more thorough rundown of what makes a flower a flower. Petal Petals are what give a flower its unique shape, and are often brightly colored to attract insects and critters, which unwittingly aid in the fertilization of ovules through pollination. Sepal These are the small, leaf-like parts growing at the base of the petals. They serve to protect the flower before it blossoms. Peduncle This refers to the stem or stalk of a flower. Receptacle This is the thickened part at the bottom of the flower which holds its major organs. Pistil This is the female organ of the flower. It consists of four major parts: • Stigma – The head of the pistil. The stigma receives pollen, which will begin the process of fertilization. • Style – This is the name for the stalk of the pistil. When pollen reaches the stigma, it begins to grow a tube through the style called a pollen tube, which will eventually reach the ovary. The style, therefore, acts as a buffer against pollen contamination, since only compatible pollen is able to grow a pollen tube. • Ovary – The base of the pistil. This organ holds the ovules awaiting fertilization. • Ovules – These are the flower’s eggs, located inside the ovary. Upon fertilization by pollen, they will eventually grow into a seed. In fruit plants, pollen will not only spark the growth of a seed, but a surrounding frui...

Flowers are not just pretty things to look at. Other than their beauty and fragrance they fulfil many more important functions. To start with, they are the reproductive organ of plants. They consist of many structures that help the plant survive, grow and reproduce.
