| Ray's plant classification system was the first to divide flowering plants into monocots and dicots. |
| In the monocots and a few paleoherbs, these crystalloids have a triangular shape, unlike all other flowering plants. |
| A wide range of monocots produce bulbs of modified leaves which store food over the winter. |
| For herbaceous dicots and small woody shrubs we have used the same phenology as that for monocots. |
| Extrorse anthers are somewhat concentrated in primitive dicots and primitive monocots and are rare in more advanced groups. |
| Many proteins with similar properties have since been isolated from tobacco and other plant species, both dicots and monocots. |
