Monocotiledóneas
Any plant whose seedlings typically have one cotyledon (seed leaf) (in contrast to the two cotyledons typical of dicots), thereby belonging to the taxonomic monocots, formerly variously known as Monocotyledones, Monocotyledonae, or Liliopsida, a class in the angiosperms (Angiospermae), the flowering plants.
Las flores de mi jardín son una mezcla de dicotiledóneas y monocotiledóneas: los tulipanes, con sus venas foliares paralelas y una sola hoja seminal, son ejemplos de monocotiledóneas.
