nominal characters

[Richard Jensen]

Even monocot/dicot doesn't work.  Degeneria, a dicot, typically has three
cotyledons and the genus Centranthus (Valerianaceae) is variable (1,2, or
3).  I'm not sure if there are any monocots with more than one, but I
wouldn't be surprised.

So, the search continues for a truly nominal character.
