Plant anatomy
Plant anatomy or phytotomy is the general term for the study of the internal structure of plants. While originally it included plant morphology, which is the description of the physical form and external structure of plants, since the mid-20th century the investigations of plant anatomy are considered a separate, distinct field, and plant anatomy refers to just the internal plant structures. Plant anatomy is now frequently investigated at the cellular level, and often involves the sectioning of tissues and microscopy.
Structural divisions
Plant anatomy is often divided into the following categories:
History
About 300 BC Theophrastus wrote a number of plant treatises, only two of which survive, Enquiry into Plants (Περὶ φυτῶν ἱστορία), and On the Causes of Plants (Περὶ φυτῶν αἰτιῶν). He developed concepts of plant morphology and classification, which did not withstand the scientific scrutiny of the Renaissance.
A Swiss physician and botanist, Gaspard Bauhin, introduced binomial nomenclature into plant taxonomy. He published 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.

All The Same
by: Fat Amyhalf the while... you won't find a way
it's always what you thought
just leaving it all again, is the only thing that he's got
it won't help to feel the pain, he's always too cold to care
decisions that long were made spoken onto deaf ears
it always seems indifference is their only common affair
he closes his eyes to breathe, as fragrance covers the air
Lately, I need something to change
"Just change me," he said.
If saving all the little things thrown away
Is all the same
And all the while he stares at vases wilted and dry
once filled with beautiful, to linger on through the night
It always seems indifference, is their only common affair
the last words she said to him, ring on and fill out the air
Lately, I need something to change
"Just change me," he said.
If saving all the little things thrown away
Half the while, it's always a gage
it's nothing but words anyway
Lately, she said... Change Me again. Save Me
Now it's always a game... Save Me again... It's changed me
Cried he'd end everything, by leaving it all the same
Lately, I need something to change
"just change Me," he said.
If saving every little thing... thrown away
is nothing but words anyway
