Synapomorphies of Monocots• Root system adventitious • One cotyledon • Stems with scattered vascular bundles (no
secondary growth); herbaceous• Leaves parallel-veined with a sheathing
base• Flowers pentacyclic (5 whorls), trimerous • Sieve tube member plastids with several
cuneate protein crystals• Lots of molecular support for monophyly
![Page 4: The Monocots: Part 1 Overview, Basal, and “Petaloid” Groups](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816419550346895dd5ced4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Additional features of monocots
• Leaves formed from the basal end of the leaf primordium
• Usually with monosulcate pollen• Lack glandular teeth on leaves
