Q.Differentiate with diagramatic representation. Reticulate and parallel venation.

Step 1. Pattern. In reticulate venation, the veins repeatedly branch and cross-connect with one another, forming an interlaced, net-like framework across the lamina. In parallel venation, the main veins run beside each other along the length of the leaf, largely without interconnecting.

Step 2. Typical group. Reticulate venation is the pattern typically found in dicot leaves (the chapter describes Datura's leaf venation as reticulate); parallel venation is the pattern typically found in monocot leaves. …

Contrast the vein pattern (networked vs side-by-side) and the plant group each is typical o …

• Reversing which pattern belongs to dicots versus monocots. …
