Abstract
Anatomy of normal and tetracot seedlings are described. Normal seedling has dimerous and tetracot seedling trimerous root structure. Both seedlings have unilacunar double trace type of cotyledonary node while the foliar node is trilacunar. The root-hypocotyl-cotyledon vasculature and epicotyl vasculature are independent. Polycotyly in this case is due to splitting.
