In which kind of plants does reticulate venation occur?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Reticulate venation (also called net venation) occurs predominantly in dicotyledonous plants (dicots). In this venation pattern, leaf veins form a complex network or web-like structure with smaller veins branching from larger midribs in various directions. Common examples include rose, mango, peepal, hibiscus, and most broadleaf trees. This contrasts with parallel venation found in monocots (like grasses, lilies, and palms), where veins run parallel to each other. Reticulate venation provides structural support and efficient nutrient transport throughout broader leaf surfaces typical of dicots.
