dicotyledonous
Dual seed leaves
Dicotyledonous describes flowering plants whose seeds have two embryonic leaves (cotyledons).
Most broad-leaved plants are dicotyledonous—oaks, roses, beans, sunflowers—as opposed to monocotyledonous plants like grasses and lilies, which have one.
Dicotyledonous plants typically have branching leaf veins and flower parts in multiples of four or five.
