Malpighi's 1675 Anatome plantarum, printed in London by John Martyn for the Royal Society, is an early plant anatomy text by the Bolognese physician Marcello Malpighi, with plates engraved by Robert White. Its copperplate pages of magnified flower and seed parts, drawn in fine hatched line with lettered keys, offer a designer a model of clear scientific diagramming and botanical specimen layout.
