Neither coconut trees nor palm trees are real trees—they're monocots, a group of plants that includes grasses, orchids, corn, and more.

椰子树和棕榈树都不是真正的树——它们是单子叶，这包括草、兰花、玉米等。

We realised this as we entered the town along the delightfully monocot and wonderfully romantic avenue to Basingstoke.

当我们沿着那条人愉悦的、充满浪漫气息的单子叶进入巴辛斯托克镇时，我们意识到了这一点。

Bamboo is also a monocarpic plant. But it can take more than 100 years for some bamboo species to flower, and even then, sometimes their roots push up new plants.

竹子也是一种单子叶。 但是，一些竹子品种可能需要100多年才能开花，即使这样，有时它们的根也会冒出新芽。
