This nomenclature booklet clearly defines external anatomy in pictures and words. The photos highlight the featured part in full color while the remainder of the image fades to muted gray. The text highlights the defined term in red.
Monocots (monocotyledons) are the three-leaved flowers commonly seen in the garden (like lilies). They get their name because their seeds have one (mono) seed leaf (cotyledon).
Unlike dicot flowers, monocots do not have petals and sepals. Instead, they have a combined petal-like structure called a tepal. Use this book in the classroom to follow-up on your explorations in the garden.
