Significats de monocotyledon en anglès

The case described in your last letter of the trimorphic monocotyledon Pontederia is grand.

But why, oh, why should so many monocotyledons have come there?

The monocotyledons comprise many familiar plants, both ornamental and useful.

But, above everything, such a proportion of individual monocotyledons!

Among monocotyledons, the orders in which it is most remarkable are Liliaceae, Hemerocallideae, Asphodeleae, Irideae, and Commelineae.

Angiosperms are again divided into the monocotyledons, as the palms, and dicotyledons, which include most European trees.

The parasite monocotyledons take between the tropics the place of the moss and lichens of our northern zone.

The roots of another family of monocotyledons (of some cyperaceae) possess also diaphoretic and resolvent properties.

The botanist divides the Angiosperms into two leading groups, the Monocotyledons (palms, grasses, lilies, orchises, irises, etc.)

You and Bentham must hate the monocotyledons, for what work the Orchideae must have been, and Gramineae and Cyperaceae will be.

The parallel-veined leaves of monocotyledons have stems without distinction of wood, bark and pith; the netted-veined leaves of dicotyledons have exogenous stems.

The conditions do not seem very different from the Tuff Galapagos Island, but, as far as I remember, very few monocotyledons there.

In the dicotyledons root and shoot are represented as springing from the same point, and in monocotyledons from opposite poles in the seed.

Still, to think that the monocotyledons evolved the familiar drupes, or stone fruits, on a parallel line to the dicotyledons is-amazing!

It is often assumed that monocotyledons are descended from some lower group of dicotyledons, probably allied to that which includes the buttercup family.
