Solution

Venation:

  1. Venation can be defined as the arrangement of veins and veinlets in the lamina of the leaf.
  2. Venation can be divided into two types, namely, reticulate and parallel venation.

i) Parallel venation:

  1. It occurs when veins are aligned parallel to each other over the leaf's lamina.
  2. It occurs in monocotyledonous plants such as bamboo, grass, bananas, wheat, and maize.

ii) Reticulate venation:

  1. It occurs when veins form web-like patterns throughout the leaf lamina.
  2. Dicot plants have reticulate venation, which can be seen in mango and hibiscus.

Final answer: Reticulate and parallel venation are characteristics of dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants, respectively.
