Laminar venation is highly variable, being dichotomous to pinnate to densely reticulate. In leaves with reticulate venation, veins form a scaffolding matrix imparting mechanical rigidity to leaves. Pinnate veins are irregularly reticulate and indistinct. The leaves are also without hairs and display clear reticulate venation underneath. It is the monocot with reticulate type of venation. Wings hyaline, often with dark spots or dark reticulate pattern. Eggs are spherical and milky white with a thinly reticulate surface. Their outer surface had numerous scales and reticulate ornamentation. The chloroplast may be discoid, plate-like, reticulate, cup-shaped, spiral or ribbon shaped in different species. Reconstructing phylogenetic relationships under reticulate evolution requires adapted analytical methods. They have a creamy body, marked with dark brown in a longitudinally reticulate manner. Spores are roughly elliptical to egg-shaped, with a strongly warted and partially reticulate (web-like) surface. When stained with iodine, reticulate bodies appear as inclusions in the cell. The DNA genome, proteins, and ribosomes are retained in the reticulate body. The pollen patterns are tricolpate with reticulate exines.
