noun
eudicots; eudicotyledons
Botanical term for a major clade of flowering plants, distinct from the older 'dicot' grouping.
真正双子葉類は、被子植物の大きな一群である。
The eudicots are a large group of flowering plants.
Refers to the traditional dicotyledons, which are paraphyletic; 真正双子葉類 is a monophyletic subgroup within them.
From 真正 (true) + 双子葉類 (dicotyledons), reflecting the botanical reclassification of eudicots as a monophyletic group within the traditional dicots.
