He came to see in the leaf the germ of a plant's metamorphosis - the true Proteus who can hide or reveal himself in all vegetal forms - from the root and stem leaves to the calyx and corolla to pistil and stamens. With this short book - 123 numbered paragraphs in the manner of the botanist Linnaeus - Goethe aimed to tell the story of botanical forms in process to present in effect a motion picture of the metamorphosis of plants".
