Malpighi, together with Nehemiah Grew, founded the science of plant anatomy: both men published their first works on the subject in 1671, and although they worked independently of one another, each was aware of the other's continuing investigations over the fifteen years following. Unlike Grew's Anatomy of Plants, which was written as a complete textbook of plant anatomy, Malpighi's Anatome plantarum contained only the account of his own researches. Apart from the contributions paralleled in Grew's work, the Anatome is valuable for its clear accounts of details Grew failed to see, and for introducing a standard Latin-based terminology for the various plant organs and structures. As with Grew, the microscope was fundamental to Malpighi's investigations; "the many anatomical observations made by Grew and Malpighi still excite astonished admiration by their completeness, accuracy and grasp of reality - almost all eventually became part of the enduring foundation of plant anatomy" (Morton, p 192). The first volume of Malpighi's work also contains as an appendix a reprint of his De ovi incubato (1672).
