In Case You Didn't Know ...

This class of the plant kingdom is the one that most people think of when someone mentions the word, "plant". Along with the lilies class, it includes what are considered "the flowering plants". See below for the rather large variety of orders (sub group of class) included in this class.

The common name "Dicots" deserves an explanation. It is short for two cotyledons, what science refers to as "embrionic leaves". Cotyledons are leaves that form inside these flowering plants' seeds. When they germinate, these become the plants' first leaves. They stay until the permanent leaves begin to grow. Monocots (see Class Liliopsida) have only one cotyledon.

Orders of the Class Magnoliopsida Discovered in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
