The dicotyledons, also known as dicots (or, more rarely, dicotyls), [2] are one of the two groups into which all the flowering plants (angiosperms) were formerly divided. The name refers to one of the typical characteristics of the group: namely, that the seed has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons .
The Reveal system used the name Magnoliopsida for a group of the primitive dicotyledons, corresponding to about half of the plants in the magnoliids: class 1. Magnoliopsida superorder 1. Magnolianae; superorder 2. Lauranae
In dicots, the hypocotyl is what appears to be the base stem under the spent withered cotyledons, and the shoot just above that is the epicotyl. In monocot plants, the first shoot that emerges from the ground or from the seed is the epicotyl , from which the first shoots and leaves emerge.

The term means "true dicotyledons", as it contains the majority of plants that have been considered dicots and have characteristics of the dicots. One of the genetic traits which defines the eudicots is the duplication of DELLA protein-encoding genes in their most recent common ancestor . [ 4 ]
They divided the dicotyledon class into three subclasses; Polypetalae (Dicotyledones polypetale) Gamopetalae (Dicotyledones gamopetalae) Monochlamydeae (Dicotyledones monochlamydeae) Under that system Gamopetalae is a Sub Class and comprises; Flowers with distinct calyx and corolla. The petals are joined in the corolla. [2]
