Sprengel's book introduced a functional view, which would today be called ecology, and provided evidence that pollination was an organised process in which insects acted as "living brushes" in a symbiotic relationship for the teleological purpose of fertilising the flowers. His discovery enabled him to understand the construction and ...
[64] [65] Meanwhile, in Switzerland, from 1554, Conrad Gessner (1516 – 1565) made regular explorations of the Swiss Alps from his native Zurich and discovered many new plants.

It took six years before Sprengel published the work of his own research. The book was based on the studies of 461 plants, presenting some 25 copperplate engravings based on his own drawings. [1] Sprengel identified that flowers were essentially organs adapted in their structures to attract insects, which events aided in pollinating the plant.
