Windmill Palm (Monocots)
Palms belong to a major group of flowering plants: the monocots, in which floral organs are arranged in tight whorls of three. Monocot leaves are generally long, with parallel veins. Monocots lack cambium, so they cannot grow in diameter along with height. Palm flowers are beetle or fly pollinated.
