| | The Classification Of Liliopsids |
 | | Liliopsida are divided into about 19 orders: Alismatales, Arales, Arecales, Bromeliales, Commelinales, Cyclanthales, Cyperales, Eriocaulales, Hydatellales, Hydrocharitales, Juncales, Liliales, Najadales, Orchidales, Pandanales, Restionales, Triuridales, Typhales, and Zingiberales. |
 | | Thus, we have such words as: cyperalian, lilialian, zingiberalian, etc. These words, which may be used either as nouns or adjectives, will not be found even in unabridged dictionaries, but they are perfectly acceptable. |
 | | An easy way to tell a monocot from a dicot is to look at the venation (pattern of veins) in the leaves. |
