Dicotyledon plantlet Young castor oil plant showing its prominent two embryonic leaves (), which differ from the adult leaves. 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.
Later molecular evidence confirmed the genetic basis for the evolutionary relationships among flowering plants with tricolpate pollen grains and dicotyledonous traits. The term means "true dicotyledons", as it contains the majority of plants that have been considered dicots and have characteristics of the dicots.
This page covers a group of dicotyledon families (Lauraceae to Salicaceae).For the background to this list see parent article List of the vascular plants of Britain and Ireland.
The Zygophyllales are an order of dicotyledonous plants, comprising the following two families: . Family Zygophyllaceae; Family Krameriaceae; According to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG II) both families are unplaced to order, but nevertheless included in the Eurosids I. [1] The APG III system of 2009, however, recognized this order.
The order Lamiales (also known as the mint order) are an order in the asterid group of dicotyledonous flowering plants. [4] [5] It includes about 23,810 species, 1,059 genera, and is divided into about 25 families. [4]
Dahlias are members of the Asteraceae (synonym name: Compositae) family of dicotyledonous plants, [4] its relatives include the sunflower, daisy, chrysanthemum, and zinnia. There are 49 species of dahlia, [4] with flowers in almost every hue (except blue), with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants.
The Bixaceae are a family of dicotyledonous plants commonly called the achiote family. Under the Cronquist system, the family was traditionally placed in the order Violales. However, newer arrangements move it, with some other families previously in the Violales, into the Malvales. Although small, this family includes trees, herbs, and shrubs.
Chenopodium quinoa is a dicotyledonous annual plant, usually about 1–2 m (3–7 ft) high. It has broad, generally powdery, hairy, lobed leaves, normally arranged alternately. The woody central stem is branched or unbranched depending on the variety and may be green, red or purple.
