This document compares the leaf anatomy of dicots and monocots. Dicot leaves have a dorsiventral orientation with stomata on the upper epidermis. Their mesophyll is differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma, and their vascular bundles are surrounded by bundle sheath cells made of collenchyma. Monocot leaves have an isobilateral orientation with stomata on both epidermis. Their mesophyll is not differentiated and contains bulliform cells that control leaf curling. Their vascular bundles are surrounded by sclerenchyma bundle sheath cells.
