Re: What has netlike leaf venation? Dicot or monocots or neither

The generalization is that monocots have parallel leaf venation and dicots have 
net venation, also called reticulate venation. However, like many 
generalizations, there are exceptions. Leaves in the monocot genus Anthurium 
and Dioscoreales have net venation. What appear to be leaves with parallel 
venation in the dicot genus Acacia are actually phyllodes or flattened petioles.

Many monocots do not strictly have parallel venation so some botanists prefer 
the term striate venation to parallel venation. Monocot leaves can be 
longitudinal-striate (same as parallel venation) or pinnate-striate, in which 
it appears there is a large central vein with smaller veins branching from it 
as in the prayer plant (Maranta  species) among others.
