          Abstract

          Abstract Traditionally, plant anatomy, along with external morphology, cytology, and palynology, has been classified as a component of the field of Plant Morphology, as set out in the Table of Areas of Knowledge of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). This subdivision is not adopted equally worldwide, and the terms denote varied interpretations even among teaching and research institutions in Brazil. However, since the mid-20th century, plant anatomy has been regarded as a separate branch of plant morphology, referring solely to studying the plant’s internal structure, including plant histology and cytology. Whichever division it best fits into, plant anatomy is one of the oldest disciplines in botanical science. It remains a powerful source of information, with significant knowledge accumulated over centuries of research. In this text, we present a history of plant anatomy with emphasis on the scientists, their discoveries, and works from antiquity to modern times that contributed to the development and progress of this fundamental area of the Scientia Amabilis. Finally, we present the beginning and progress of plant anatomy in Brazil. A summary of the current state and perspectives for future research to promote further integration of the various aspects of plant anatomy are listed.

          Resumo Tradicionalmente, a anatomia vegetal, juntamente com a morfologia externa, citologia e palinologia, tem sido classificada como um componente da área de Morfologia Vegetal, conforme Tabela de Áreas do Conhecimento do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq). Essa subdivisão não é adotada igualmente em todo o mundo, e os termos denotam interpretações variadas mesmo entre instituições de ensino e pesquisa no Brasil. No entanto, desde meados do século 20, a anatomia vegetal tem sido considerada como um ramo separado da morfologia vegetal, referindo-se unicamente ao estudo da estrutura interna da planta, incluindo histologia e citologia. Independentemente da divisão em que melhor se enquadre, a anatomia vegetal é uma das disciplinas mais antigas da ciência botânica e continua sendo uma poderosa fonte de informação, com significativo conhecimento acumulado ao longo de séculos de pesquisas. Neste texto, apresentamos um histórico da anatomia vegetal com ênfase nos cientistas, suas descobertas e trabalhos desde a antiguidade até os tempos modernos que contribuíram para o desenvolvimento e progresso desta área fundamental da Scientia Amabilis. Ao final, nós relatamos o início e progresso da anatomia vegetal no Brasil. Uma síntese do estado atual e perspectivas para pesquisas futuras, a fim de promover uma maior integração dos vários aspectos da anatomia vegetal, são listadas.
