Monocots and dicots are two categories of angiosperm plants. The eponymous characteristic of these groups is the number of cotyledons. Monocots, like the different species of grasses and lilies, have one cotyledon, while dicots have two. Aberrations are rarely found, but three cotyledons were documented for some species like Opuntia ficus-indica, Ceropegia mahabalei and Withania somnifera.

Abstract


Monocots and dicots are two categories of angiosperm plants. The eponymous characteristic of these groups is the number of cotyledons. Monocots, like the different species of grasses and lilies, have one cotyledon, while dicots have two. Aberrations are rarely found, but three cotyledons were documented for some species like Opuntia ficus-indica, Ceropegia mahabalei and Withania somnifera.
