Two somewhat different types of monocotyledonous plants are the members of the orchid family, such as the lily and the daffodil, and the cereal grasses such as wheat and corn.

These, and many other grasses, as well as many other "showy" flowering plants start out life with a single cotyledon, the little leaf-like bit that first pops out of the ground after seed germination, as opposed to the dicots that start out life with two cotyledons.
