Examples
Dicot
As the name suggests, the
dicot embryo has two
cotyledons.
Leaf veins are reticulated
(branched).
Petals in multiples of four
or five. May bear fruit ( if
tree).
Taproot system
Often present
Monocot
Monocotyledons have one cotyledon in the
embryo.

PLANT REPRODUCTION
Flower
Peduncle: The stalk of a flower.
Receptacle: The part of a flower stalk where the parts of the flower are attached.
Sepal: The outer parts of the flower (often green and leaf-like) that enclose a developing bud.
Petal: The parts of a flower that are often conspicuously colored.
Stamen: The pollen producing part of a flower, usually with a slender filament supporting the
anther.
Anther: The part of the stamen where pollen is produced.
Pistil: The ovule producing part of a flower. The ovary often supports a long style, topped by a
stigma. The mature ovary is a fruit, and the mature ovule is a seed.
Stigma: The part of the pistil where pollen germinates.
Ovary: The enlarged basal portion of the pistil where ovules are produced.
Fruit
pericarp
endocarp
mesocarp
exocarp
rind
accessory
tissue
the fruit wall (derived from the ovary of the pistil) which is composed of the
exocarp, mesocarp and endocarp (the three layers are not always recognizable,
ex. dry fruit)
the innermost layer of the pericarp (often hard, stony or papery)
the middle layer of the pericarp (often fleshy)
the outermost layer of the pericarp (often like a skin or peel). (peach)
tough, leathery covering on many fruits either composed of the exocarp (melon)
or the exocarp and mesocarp (orange).
fruit parts not directly derived from the ovary, for example, receptacle tissue of
pomes (apple) and the husks of nuts (acorn, pecan).
