A monocot showing reticulate venation is __________.
A monocot showing reticulate venation is __________.
The correct option is B Smilax
The phenomenon of an arrangement of veins on
the leaf is known as venation. There are two kinds of venation. That is
reticulate venation and parallel venation. Reticulate venation contains the irregular distribution of veins to form a network. Examples of plants presenting
reticulate venation include rose, tulsi, hibiscus,
papaya, Ficus, Bambusa. Parallel venation includes
the veins running parallel to each other.
Examples of plants presenting parallel
venation include grains, banana, canna, grass, Musa, plum. Leaves of monocot plants
show parallel venation. Leaves of dicot plants show reticulate venation. Though,
there are exceptions in monocots like Smilax and Colocasia. They show
reticulate venation. Other options are not related with reticulate venation.
Thus, the correct option is B.
