This Pdf comprises The comparative study of Dicot stems in general. It also includes examples of some dicot plants and their anatomical study explaining the slight variations of the anatomical structure of the stem of the plants falling in the same family.

2. Dicotyledon plants, or simply dicots, are
those whose seed include two cotyledons or
embryonic leaves. It’s stem is characterised
by the presence of a well-defined epidermis
with a cuticle and multicellular stem hairs
Collenchymatous hypodermis is found in the cortex
on a regular or irregular basis. Endodermis is
distinguished as the cortex’s deepest layer. Pericycle
is made up of parenchyma and sclerenchyma that
alternate as uneven patches (heterogenous).

3. Vascular bundles are
conjoint, collateral,
endarch, open, and
organised in a ring
around the pith (eustele).
The centre of pith is made
up of thin-walled
parenchyma cells with
discrete intercellular
gaps. Pith rays or
medullary rays are
discovered as a
separation of two vascular
bundles.

16. Name: Bignonia capreolata
Common name :Crossvine/Trumpet
flower.
 A climbing, woody vine reaching 50 ft.
long with showy, orange-red, trumpet-
shaped flowers 2 inches long and 1 1/2
inches across which hang in clusters of
two to five.
 Leaves are opposite and bifoliate
actually trifoliate, but one leaflet being
modified into a branched tendril.
 They are sometimes seen high in a tree,
as the vine climbs by means of tendrils.
