The main differentiation criteria between dicots and monocots are: number of cotyledons (or seed leaf) in seeds, one in monocots and two in the dicots; pattern of the leaf veins, parallel in the monocots, reticulated in a dicots; multiplicity of the petal number, multiples of three in the monocots, multiples of four or five in the dicots; position of the vascular bundles in stem, scattered into monocots, concentrically ringed into dicots.

Grasses, sugar cane, banana tree, orchids are illustrations of monocots. Sunflowers, oaks and waterlilies are instances of the dicots.
