Dicotyledon

"cotyledon" and "dicotyledon" -- I should not have been surprised; but they blundered over the ordinary English, and had next to no sense of the meaning of punctuation. ❋ George Sturt (1895)

In the Border Ranges, approximately 140 dicotyledon genera are Gondwanan in origin, including rain forest genera (Nothofagus, Ceratopetalum, Akania) and non-rainforest genera such as Cassinia, Bauera, Hibbertia, and Leucopogon. ❋ Unknown (2008)

One of these determinables is number of cotyledons under which fall the determinates acotyledon, monocotyledon, and dicotyledon. ❋ Sanford, David H. (2006)

I will describe as examples the reproduction of a moss, a fern, and a dicotyledon. ❋ Various (N/A)

Beginning with the cryptogams, the system proceeds from the monocotyledon to the dicotyledon, and closes with the coniferæ. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)

"A primrose by the river's brim," whether "a yellow primrose 'tis to him," or a dicotyledon, may be outwardly described more and less well; but we require for that purpose only the rudiments of literary prose. ❋ Unknown (1902)

Mammal, amphibian, coleoptera, dicotyledon, cryptogam, -- all these terms, which, if they were translated into the language of a peasant, would be seen to record very simple observations, yet do lend a kind of formal majesty to ignorance. ❋ Walter Alexander Raleigh (1891)

Nothing could be more useful than botany-those who could not distinguish between a dicotyledon and a monocotyledon could certainly never rightly grasp the nature of a hedgerow. ❋ Richard Jefferies (1867)

-- The engraving conveys the impression that the leaves are parallel-veined; but the coca is a dicotyledon, with the under surface of the leaf strongly marked with veins, of which two, in addition to the midrib, run parallel with the margin. ❋ James Orton (1853)

They have a double seed-leaf which means they are a dicotyledon. ❋ Ashcraft (2010)

Which one is advanced level a monocotyledon seed or dicotyledon seed? ❋ Unknown (2010)

It is in the class named dicot (dicotyledon), having unique characteristics. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Thus while in the moss the asexual generation or sporogonium is nourished by the sexual generation or leafy plant, and while in the fern each generation is an independent structure, here in the dicotyledon, on the other hand, the asexual generation or embryo is again for a time nourished in the interior of the embryo-sac representing the sexual generation, and this again derives its nourishment from the previous asexual generation, so that as in the moss, there is again a partial parasitism of one generation on the other. ❋ Various (N/A)
