 | | Angiosperm (flowering plant) having an embryo with a single cotyledon, or seed leaf (as opposed to dicotyledons, which have two). | | | The castor is a dicotyledon, a plant in which the developing plant has two leaves, developed from the cotyledon. | | | In maize, a monocotyledon, there is a single leaf developed from the scutellum. |

| | Monocotyledon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Monocotyledons or monocots are an extremely important group of flowering plants, dominating great parts of the earth and with many economically important plants. | | | Grasses produce small flowers, which may be gathered in highly visible plumes (inflorescences). | | | The traditional name Monocotyledones (some prefer Monocotyledoneae) derives from the fact that most members of this group have one cotyledon, or embryonic leaf, in their seeds. |
