Flowering Plants - Magnoliophyta
Around the early Cretaceous, perhaps 140 million years ago, the flowering
plants split into two camps, Lillies (monocots) and Magnolias (dicots).
Lillies have long leaves with parallel veins while Magnolias have broad
leaves with radiating veins. Actually it's a whole lot more complex
and confusing than that, but that's plenty for discussing food.
