In parallel venation, the veins are all smaller in size and parallel or nearly parallel to one another, although a series of smaller veins connects the large veins. Parallel venation occurs in the leaves of nearly all monocotyledonous Angiosperms, whose embryos have one cotyledon, as in flowering plants such as lillies and grasses
Parallel veins in a leaf indicate that the plant is a monocot. Alternatively, if the plant's leaves exhibit webbed veins, it indicates a dicot.
monocot
the veins are parallel to each other
Monocots
1.The monocot leaves are identical on both sides (isobilateral) where as dicot leaves are dorsiventral (i. e. having palisade cells on the upper side and spongy parenchyma on the lower side). 2. Monocot leaves generally have parallel venation and dicot leaves have reticulate venation.
The patten of veins on a dicot leaf are called netted veins. With netted veins, several main veins begin near the base of the leaf and radiate outward.
parallel
The difference is that reticulate have scattered and parallel have parallel leaf veins
the veins are parallel to each other
It is parallel as you can see the leaf veins are arranged parallel to each other
The veins in a grass leaf run parallel, marking it as a monocot
Monocot leaves have their leaf veins arranged parallel to each other and the long axis of the leaf (parallel vennation).
Plant not having tap root are miten found with parallel lead veins.
A grapevine has netted veins.
Parallel venation is the term used to describe the arrangement of leaf veins in monocotyledonous plants. The veins are arranged parallel to each other, thus parallel venation (as opposed to the branched or net venation of dicotyledonous plants)

I do not have the leaf before me and can not remember what it looks like, but..... A monocot leaf has parallel veins, lines of veins that do not meet or cross. A dicot has reticulated veins, veins that look somewhat like a messy spider web, crossing and perpendicular to each other. Look at the leaf and decide on this general information given you.
