Class Dicotyledones (Dicots)

Dicots have floral parts in multiples of four or five, leaves with netted venation, vascular bundles arranged in circles, and two cotyledons in their embryos. Flowering plants arose only once and monocots evolved from dicots, as is evidenced by the fossil record [Solomon et. al. 1996].
