    This document discusses characteristics of several plants that are classified as either monocots or dicots. It provides descriptions of the dragon tree (Dracaena marginata), snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata), devil's ivy (Epipremnum aureum), which are all monocots, as well as guava (Psidium guajava) and mango (Mangifera indica), which are dicots. It mentions physical attributes such as leaf shape and vein structure that determine these classifications and also notes traditional medicinal uses of several of the plants.

    DRACAENA
    Dragon tree (Dracaena marginata) is a stiff-leaved plant with green sword-
    like leaves edged with red that are mostly parallel veined. In stems of Dracaena
    plants, the vascular system consists of primary collateral bundles similar to other
    monocotyledonous species. The root system of the Dracaena marginata is
    incredibly dense which shows that this plant contains fibrous roots. This small
    tree will grow to about 20 feet in warm outdoor climates, but it is generally
    grown as a potted houseplant and kept pruned to 6 feet or less. Dracaena
    marginata is known for purifying the air of the carcinogen, benzene, commonly
    found in the off-gassing of synthetic materials, cigarette smoke and other
    household chemicals.

    SNAKE PLANT
    Sansevieria trifasciata or commonly known as snake plant is an evergreen,
    succulent, perennial plant producing long, narrow, erect or slightly spreading
    sword-shaped leaves up to 75cm long. They bear numerous flowers in an
    elongated clusters near their tips. These flowers have six 'petals' that are partially
    fused into a tube 6-12 mm long and separate into six spreading lobes. It is
    commonly grown as an ornamental in tropical and subtropical regions, and as a
    pot plant in many other areas of the world. It prefers a well-drained soil in a sunny
    or partially shaded position, and a pH between 6 and 7. Snake plants are used to
    treat ringworm and fungal diseases. Also, fiber obtained from the leaves is used to
    make string, mats, etc.

    DEVIL’S IVY
    Epipremnum aureum, also known as devil's ivy, is a houseplant
    that stands out due to its heart-shaped satiny leaves with silver, pale
    green, yellow or whitish spots, or a flame pattern. It is classed as a
    monocotyledon because most of its leaves are parallel veined. The
    inner layer of its stem has vascular bundles that are scattered. It
    prefers medium light, medium relative humidity, and moist soil. It can
    also tolerate low light for long periods. Devil's ivy is an air-cleaning
    plant known for removing formaldehyde in the air.

    GUAVA
    Psidium guajava, commonly known as guava, is a shrub or
    small tree usually growing 1-6 m tall, but occasionally reaching 10
    m in height. The flowers of guava tree have a base number of five
    petals. It has aromatic leaves, opposite, entire, 4-8 cm long, with
    prominent veins on the underside, resembling ribs. Psidium
    guajava is used in many parts of the world for the treatment of a
    number of diseases, e.g. as an anti-inflammatory, for diabetes,
    hypertension, caries, wounds, pain relief and reducing fever.

    MANGO
    Mango (Mangifera indica) a large evergreen tree in the anacardiaceae
    family that grows to a height of 10-45 m, dome shaped with dense foliage,
    typically heavy branched from a stout trunk. Mango seeds have an outer shell
    with a seam which is a characteristic of a dicot. The taproots of the mango
    tree are another thing that supports the classification of Mangiferea indica as
    a dicot. Various parts of plant are used to treat diarrhea, asthma, bronchitis,
    cough, hypertension, insomnia, rheumatism, toothache, etc. All parts are used
    to treat tumor, snakebite, blisters, wounds in the mouth, diarrhea, liver
    disorders, excessive urination, tetanus, asthma, etc.
