(Gr. dis, twice + kotyledon, a cup-shaped hollow)
A plant with two cotyledons, or seed leaves. One of the
two classes of plants in the Angiosperms (the other class is the monocotyledons). Colloquially called a dicot. Examples include many crop plants (potato, pea, beans), ornamentals (rose, ivy) and timber trees
(oak, beech, lime).
