Leeuwenhoek's Observations on the Anatomy of Bark

Leeuwenhoek's letter to the Royal Society of 27 March 1705, dealing with the anatomy of bark of cherry, birch, cinnamon, lime and cork oak is reviewed. It contains many detailed observations and illustrations of, i.a., ray dilatation, various types of phloem sclerenchyma, and annual rings in cork. This is another example of Leeuwenhoek's importance as an early plant anatomist.
