MONOCOTYLEDONEAE. 



These Plants are characterised by the embryo bearing only one 

 cotyledon. The leaves are as a rule alternate, with simple form, parallel 

 venation, and a broad sheathing base. The stem and root show no 

 secondary thickening of the type usual in Dicotyledons, their vascular 

 strands having no cambium. The flower is constructed usually of 

 five alternating whorls of parts, and each whorl is commonly trimerous. 

 Most of the Monocotyledons are perennials. They include Grasses, 

 Sedges, Orchids, and Palms. Many are rhizomatous and bulbous 

 plants that are grown for the beauty of their flowers. 



ORDER: LTLIALES. 



. This very large Order includes plants which are naturally related 

 together by their floral structure, though diverse in vegetative habit. 

 The type dates back to the Cretaceous Period, and it may be accepted 

 as underlying the floral construction of most of the Monocotyledons. 

 Most of them are perennials, with creeping or bulbous stock (Lily, 

 Tulip, Solomon's Seal) : but some are tree-like (Draccena), or shrubby
