What is an example of a dicotyledonous flowering plant?

Answer 1

Dicotyledonous flowering plants can quickly be identified in that the floral parts of these plants are always in multiples of 4 or 5. That is to say petals, sepals, stamens or locules. Sometimes these parts may be fused so that it is not easy to identify the number (eg. peas). Dicots also normally have net leaf veination.

Monocotyledonous floral parts are always in multiples of 3!



Common examples of these are:


Vegetables and fruit:
Peas, beans, potato, tomato, pepper, pumpkin, squash, melons, apples, Pears, strawberry, aubergine

Shrubs:
Ixora, Jasmine, Murraya, Hibiscus, Azalea, Hydrangea, Bougainvillea, Pyracantha, Adenium, Rose, Petunia

Trees:
Cherry, Bauhinia, Apple, Citrus, Mango
