Photo of potted plants on a greenhouse bench. The plants are seedlings, several per pot, that have their cotyledons above ground, but the cotyledons are not expanded and leafy. They are thick and pale. The shoots above the cotyledons have pinnately compound leaves.
Same photo, but with text and arrows showing the cotyledons.
Earlier today, I posted the diagram of cotyledon exposure, position & function. Here’s a real-life example: Seedlings of Intsia palembanica have phanerocotylar, epigeal, storage cotyledons. #seed #cotyledon #Fabaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
