Reticulate venation is found in dicot leaves while in monocot leaves venation is of parallel type. Biology being a ‘Science of exceptions’, find out any exception to this generalisation.

$\rightarrow$ Reticulate venation is a characteristic of dicot and parallel venation is a characteristic of monocot. But there are exception in this generalisation. In some dicot plants parallel venation is seen e.g. Calophyllum, Corymbium. In some monocot plants reticulate venation is seen e.g. Alocasia and Smilex.
