Diversity And Classification of Flowering Plants:
Monocots
Michael G. Simpson
Monocotyledons ���(Monocotyledonae, Monocots,
Liliidae) • Monophyletic group • Comprise 22% of all angiosperms • Relationships to other “basal” angiosperms
unclear at present • aroids, lilies, gingers, orchids, irises, palms,
grasses
Apomorphies of the Monocots
• sieve tube plastids with cuneate (wedge-shaped) proteinaceous inclusions
• atactostele stem vasculature • parallel leaf venation • single cotyledon
• NOTE: a trimerous flower merosity is not a Monocot apomorphy

• No monocot has true vascular cambium that produces wood
Apomorphies of the Monocots • sieve tube plastids with cuneate (wedge-shaped)
proteinaceous inclusions
Apomorphies of the Monocots • atactostele stem vasculature
Apomorphies of the Monocots • parallel leaf venation (penni-parallel in some)

ALISMATALES Araceae - Arum family
(Arum, a name used by Theophrastus). 111 genera / 2980 species
The Araceae are distinguished from related families in having bifacial leaves, a spadix of numerous, small flowers with a subtending spathe, endospermous seeds, and raphide crystals.
P 2+2,3+3,(2+2),(3+3) or 0 [4+4,(4+4)] A 4,6,8 or
(4,6,8) [1-12] G (3) [1-(∞)] superior, hypanthium absent.
Araceae - Arum family • Members of the family have distributions in
tropical and subtropical regions. • Economic importance includes many taxa
important food sources (rootstocks, leaves, or fruits) in the tropics, e.g., Alocasia, Colocasia esculenta (taro), Monstera; some species are cultivated ornamentals, e.g., Anthurium, Caladium (elephant's ear), Dieffenbachia (dumb cane), Monstera, Philodendron, Zantedeschia (calla-lily).
• Amorphophallus titanum is unique in having the largest inflorescences of any flowering plant.

Cyperaceae - Sedge family (Gr. for several species of Cyperus). 98 genera / 4,350 species
The Cyperaceae are distinctive in being herbs with usually 3-sided, solid-pithed stems, closed-sheathed, often tristichous leaves, the inflorescence a “sedge spikelet,” consisting of a central axis bearing many sessile, distichous or spiral bracts, each subtending a single, reduced unisexual or bisexual flower, with perianth absent or reduced to bristles or scales, usually 3 stamens, and a 2–3-carpellate ovary, the fruit a 2- or 3-sided achene. P 6 or 0 [1-∞] A 3 [1-6+] G (2-3)[(4)], superior.
Cyperaceae - Sedge family (Gr. for several species of Cyperus). 98 genera / 4,350 species
Economic importance is limited, with some species used as mats, thatch, weaving material, or writing material (Cyperus papyrus, papyrus, the culm pith of which was historically used to make paperlike scrolls), a few used as ornamental cultivars (e.g., Cyperus involucratus, umbrella plant), and some species, such as the nutsedges, being noxious weeds.
