3. Botany. The primary leaf in the embryo of the higher plants (Phanerogams); the seed-leaf.The number of cotyledons in the seed serves as an important basis of classification of Angiosperms into monocotyledons (see monocotyledon n.) (= endogens, endogen n.) with one cotyledon, and dicotyledons (see dicotyledon n.) (= exogens, exogen n.) with two; in Gymnosperms the number varies, being usually more than two.[The term was introduced by Linnæus, and was esp. applied by him to those seed-leaves which are not themselves depositaries of nutriment, but act as organs of absorption, in which he saw an analogy to the function of the cotyledons of the placenta (sense 1). Cf. Gaertner De Fructibus (1788) clxii.]
