Step 1: The organisation of the shoot apical meristem has been explained through several competing models over the decades, each associated with a different botanist's name, such as Schmidt (tunica corpus), Foster (rib meristem cap), and Buvat (waiting meristem).
Step 2: Among these, the specific phrase "continuing meristematic residue" is the terminology introduced by Newman to describe a persistently active meristematic zone in the shoot apex.
Step 3: Hence the correct attribution among the given choices is Newman.
