Category:Magnoliopsida

Magnoliopsida is a class of angiosperms that contains the great majority of flowering plants. They are characterized primarily by the possession of two initial leaves or cotyledons in the embryo, which is usually surrounded by the endosperm. For example, the bean is a dicot. When a bean seed is opened, it can be separated into two halves that develop into the cotyledons. Dicot plants also generally have broad leaves with netlike veins.
