    And one Example we have (it may be more than one) wherein Nature shews, though not a greater, yet a different Art; and that is the Palm-Net. For whereas in other Plants, the Webb is made betwixt the Lignous-Strings and the Fibers of the Parenchyma, only visible through a Microscope: here the said Strings themselves are Interwoven, and the Weftage apparent to the bare Eye.

    1682, Nehemiah Grew, The Anatomy of Plants (book IV, page 156, section 21)
