2 unusual facts about Nehemiah Grew


Nehemiah Grew

Grew's work on pollen was more extensive than that of Malpighi, leading to the discovery that although all pollen is roughly globular, size and shape is different between species, however, pollen grains within a species are all alike.

Much of Grew's pioneering work with the microscope was contemporary with that of Marcello Malpighi and the two reportedly borrowed freely from one another.
