The alismatid monocots are a group of 15 interrelated families of flowering plants, named for their largest order, Alismatales. [a] Like other monocots, they usually have a single embryonic leaf in their seeds, scattered vascular systems, leaves with parallel veins, flowers with parts in threes or multiples of three, and roots that can develop in more than one place along the stems. [6]
Nymphaeaceae (water lilies) have reticulate veins, a single cotyledon, adventitious roots, and a monocot-like vascular bundle. These examples reflect their shared ancestry. [36] Nevertheless, this list of traits is generally valid, especially when contrasting monocots with eudicots, rather than non-monocot flowering plants in general. [35]

The lily family, Liliaceae, consists of about 15 genera and 610 species of flowering plants within the order Liliales. [2] They are monocotyledonous, perennial, herbaceous, often bulbous geophytes. Plants in this family have evolved with a fair amount of morphological diversity despite genetic similarity.
The Liliales are a diverse order of predominantly perennial erect or twining herbaceous and climbing plants. Climbers, such as the herbaceous Gloriosa (Colchicaceae) and Bomarea (Alstroemeriaceae), are common in the Americas in temperate and tropical zones, while most species of the subtropical and tropical genus Smilax (Smilacaceae) are herbaceous or woody climbers and comprise much of the ...
The Arecaceae (/ ˌ ær ə ˈ k eɪ s i. iː,-ˌ aɪ /) is a family of perennial, flowering plants in the monocot order Arecales.Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms.
This low growth point evolved in response to grazing animals and allows grasses to be grazed or mown regularly without severe damage to the plant. [ 11 ] : 113–114 Three general classifications of growth habit present in grasses: bunch-type (also called caespitose), stoloniferous , and rhizomatous . [ 12 ]
