John Ray (1674), pp. 164, 166 Since this paper appeared a year before the publication of Malpighi's Anatome Plantarum (1675–1679), Ray has the priority. At the time, Ray did not fully realise the importance of his discovery but progressively developed this over successive publications. And since these were in Latin, "seed leaves" became folia seminalia and then cotyledon, following Malpighi ...
Commelinids. In plant taxonomy, commelinids (originally commelinoids[ 1][ 2]) is a clade of flowering plants within the monocots, distinguished by having cell walls containing ferulic acid. [ 3][ 4] The commelinids are the only clade that the APG IV system has informally named within the monocots. The remaining monocots are a paraphyletic unit.
Spathiphyllum is a genus of about 47 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to tropical regions of the Americas and southeastern Asia. Certain species of Spathiphyllum are commonly known as spath or peace lilies . They are evergreen herbaceous perennial plants with large leaves 12–65 cm long and 3–25 cm ...
Liliales is an order of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group and Angiosperm Phylogeny Web system, within the lilioid monocots. This order of necessity includes the family Liliaceae. The APG III system (2009) places this order in the monocot clade. In APG III, the family Luzuriagaceae is combined with the family ...
Acorus. Acorus is a genus of monocot flowering plants. This genus was once placed within the family Araceae (aroids), but more recent classifications place it in its own family Acoraceae and order Acorales, of which it is the sole genus of the oldest surviving line of monocots.
Magnoliids. Magnoliids, Magnoliidae or Magnolianae are a clade of flowering plants. With more than 10,000 species, including magnolias, nutmeg, bay laurel, cinnamon, avocado, black pepper, tulip tree and many others, it is the third-largest group of angiosperms after the eudicots and monocots. [3] The group is characterized by trimerous flowers ...
Monocotyledon reproduction. A solitary bee pollinating an Allium monocot flower. The monocots (or monocotyledons) are one of the two major groups of flowering plants (or Angiosperms), the other being the dicots (or dicotyledons ). In order to reproduce they utilize various strategies such as employing forms of asexual reproduction, restricting ...
The Alismatales comprise herbaceous flowering plants of often aquatic and marshy habitats, and the only monocots known to have green embryos other than the Amaryllidaceae. They also include the only marine angiosperms growing completely submerged, the seagrasses. [2] The flowers are usually arranged in inflorescences, and the mature seeds lack ...
