22. Plant Growth
Malpighi, as a keen observer, and draftsman and ingenious experimenter,
discovered, with the aid of the microscope, the capillaries connecting
arteries and veins. In this book he pioneered in understanding plant
growth. He pictured the embryo sac and endosperm and recognized the formation
of annular rings in wood. In the appendix the first microscopic description
of the development of the chick embryo is given.
