They have generally the parts of their flowers in threes (not in fives, as in dicotyledons), their earliest leaves alternate, and the veins parallel. From the structure of the stem increasing by internaerendogenous growth, they are also called The of stems in longitudinal bundles of fibers, scattered, as in Indian corn, or becoming compact, as in palms. New bundles of fibers form between the old, not, as in dicotyledons or exogens, in an annual external layer enveloping the stem. The cla is divided into 34 orders, among End which are the lily, iris, amaryllis, orchis, banana, palm, pineapple, screw pine, arum, rush, sedge, and gra families. By Bentham and Hooker these are cla ed in seven groups or series; by others in three, the spadiceous, petaloideous, and glumaceous divisions.
