Monocotyledon Vs Dicotyledon

Botanists define a monocot, or monocotyledon, plant by its seed leaves. Other distinguishing features of dicot angiosperms are complex, netlike patterns of veins in leaves, flower parts in multiples of four or five, and vascular bundles in distinct rings...

The museum notes that palms, bamboo and yucca are among the monocots growing as trees. Palm trees are members of Division Anthophyta of the plant kingdom. Support for tree-form monocots comes from vascular bundles having a lot of lignin, a substance that...

It would make the article impossibly long, though.Changes and Extremes of Culitvated Variegated Plants:Because this form of variegation is not hard-wired genetically, oftencan take place, where parts of the plants will develop the original, non-variegated...

In these plants, the transporation units are pretty randomly spread throughout the trunk from its center to the edges. And too many plants have huge, caudex-like trunks even though I know they were probably still monocots.
