| Cotyledons | Seed leaves, i.e., the embryonic leaves. |  |
| Cotyledons absent (= embryo macropodial) | A massive embryo that shows no obvious cotyledons. |  |
| Cotyledons bowed | Referring to cotyledons that are arched in such a way that they form an air chamber thought to aid in dispersal, either by the wind or by water. |  |
| Cotyledons cryptocotylar | Cotyledons that remain within the seed coat at germination. In the Lecythidaceae the seed coat is thin and fragile and breaks apart as the embryo increases in size. |  |
| Cotyledons epigeal | At germination the cotyledons emerge from the seed coat above the ground. |  |
| Cotyledons fleshy, irregular (= cotyledons plano-convex) | Seed leaves (= cotyledons) that are fleshy and irregular. |  |
| Cotyledons foliaceous (= cotyledons leaf-like) | Cotyledons that look like leaves but differ in their opposite instead of alternate attachment. Same as cotyledons leaf-like which is the preferred term. |  |
| Cotyledons hypogeal | A type of seed germination in which the cotyledons are retained below the ground. |  |
| Cotyledons leaf-like (= cotyledons foliaceous) | Cotyledons that look like leaves but differ in their opposite instead of alternate attachment. | |
| Cotyledons phanerocotylar | A type of seed germination in which the cotyledons emerge from the seed coat at germination.. |  |
| Cotyledons plano-convex (= cotyledons fleshy, irregular) | Same as cotyledons fleshy. We no longer use plano-convex because the cotyledons are very irregular and are not plano-convex as in, for example, the embryo of species of Gustavia. |  |
| Embryo macropodial (= cotyledons absent) | Massive embryo that shows no obvious cotyledons. Cotyledons absent is the preferred term. | |
| Isocotylar cotyledons | Cotyledons that are morphological identical | |
