•ophyte zo'-o-f'it) \~LCnrtv, animal; dvrov, plant]. In 



igy, a member of the lower invertebrata, the 



ile animal structure, whether a single animal 



r consisting of a large number of animals, 



in most corals, sea anemones, acalephs, and 



^ponges. *'The word has been applied to the lower 



| inimals by most writers in natural history since Pliny. 



t was first used by Sextus Empiricus and no doubt 



uggested by a passage of Aristotle in which the 



;radation from the higher animals to the plants is 



Eluded to. But far from constituting a progress in 



cience, that designation introduced only confusion, or 



t least served to propagate a false impression that 



here were living beings truly partaking at the same 



irae of the nature of animals and plants. Nothing 



an be farther from the truth than to ascribe such a 



| lew to Aristotle, as his commentators, Goza and 



>udsus, have done ; for, though Aristotle alludes to a 



radation among animals and to a sort of transition 



'om them to plants, he nowhere regards those animals 



I s ambiguous in their character, but everywhere speaks 



t them as living animals and alludes to the sponges as 



lants. These erroneous notions had been enter- 



lined for nearly two thousand years until Peysonnel 



jemonstrated the animal nature of the expanded in- 



ividuals of the so-called zoophytes, in which some 



decessors had fancied they saw real flowers."
