Petals in multiples of 3
Petals in multiples of 4 or 5
Stamens in multiples of 3
Stamens in multiples of 4 or 5

Branching leaf veins
Fibrous roots
Taproot
Herbaceous
Herbaceous or woody
Examples of Both Monocots and Dicots
Monocots include most of the bulbing plants and grains, such as agapanthus, asparagus, bamboo, bananas, corn, daffodils, garlic, ginger, grass, lilies, onions, orchids, rice, sugarcane, tulips, and wheat.
Dicots include many of the most popularly grown garden flowers and vegetables, including legumes, the cabbage family, and the aster family, such as apples, beans, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, cosmos, daisies, peaches, peppers, potatoes, roses, sweet pea, and tomatoes.
