MONOCOTYLEDON

• A flowering plant characterized by embrio sporophytes having one cotyledon.
  

• Its floral parts in threes (or multiples of three) and often parallel-veined leaves.

• Monocots evolved from a single ancestor, and are younger than dicots, from which they are probably branched off, as recent genetic research has shown. They evolved 100-120 millions years ago, shortly after the flowering plant explosion.

• Pandan

• Orkid
