Lantana Flower Monocot Or Dicot. Roots Monocots usually have adventitious roots. Reticulate venation in a dicot.
The monocot has single cotyledon and embryonic leaf while the dicot has two cotyledons and two embryonic leaves. Flowers Monocots tend to have flower parts in multiples of 3. This slight difference at the very start of the plants life cycle leads each plant to develop vast differences.
In most species monocot leaves have parallel arrangement while dicots have reticulate venation of leaves.
It is here that the first difference between the two types can be seen. Those that start with one leaf are monocots. Monocots have flower parts in threes or multiples of threes as shown in the flowers to the left. Leaf veins are arranged either in parallel through the length of the leaf or in a reticulate arrangement throughout the leaf.
