Examples of monocots and dicots

Monocots include grasses, sedges, lilies, orchids and onions. The arum family (jack-in-the-pulpit, Caladium, Spathiphyllum, Philodendron, Anthurium) are monocots, but often have broad leaves with netted veins. Palm trees are monocots, but they don't make proper wood and don't increase in girth like broadleaf trees. They are like a giant corn plant.
Dicots include broadleaf trees, shrubs, most flowers, and vegetables.
