The hypocotyl short for hypocotyledonous stem , ref OED hypocotyl ref meaning below seed leaf is the stem of a germinating seedling , found below the cotyledon s seed leaves and above the radicle root . Dicots As the plant embryo grows at germination, it sends out a shoot called a radicle that becomes the primary root and penetrates down into the soil . After emergence of the radicle, the hypocotyl emerges and lifts the growing tip usually including the seed coat above the ground, bearing the embryonic leaves called cotyledon s and the plumule that gives rise to the first true leaves. The hypocotyl is the primary organ of extension of the young plant and develops into the Plant stem stem . Monocots The early development of a monocotyledon monocot seedling like cereal s and other Poaceae grasses is somewhat different. A structure called the coleoptile , essentially a part of the cotyledon , protects the young stem and plumule as growth pushes them up through the soil. A mesocotyl that part of the young plant that lies between the seed which remains buried and the plumule extends the shoot up to the soil surface, where secondary roots develop from just beneath the plumule. The primary root from the radicle may then fail to develop further. The mesocotyl is considered to be partly hypocotyl and partly cotyledon see seed . Not all monocots develop like the grasses. The onion develops in a manner similar to the first sequence described above, the seed coat and endosperm stored food reserve pulled upwards as the cotyledon extends. Later, the first true leaf grows from the node between the radicle and the sheath like cotyledon, breaking through the cotyledon to grow past it. Storage organ In some plants, the hypocotyl becomes enlarged as a storage organ . Examples include cyclamen , Gloxinia genus gloxinia and celeriac . ... more details

Until the late 1970s all these plants were included in the genus Cotyledon, but in 1978 Dr Helmut Toelken of the South Australian Herbarium split them off into a genus of their own. The new name Tylecodon was apparently chosen as a syllabic anagram of the earlier name Cotyledon genus Cotyledon . The bases for splitting Cotyledon to create the new genus included certain features of the flowers, but more conspicuously, the leaves of Tylecodon are deciduous in summer and they are borne in a spiral arrangement, rather than the opposite arrangement of Cotyledon leaves. The species are vary varied, ranging from dwarf succulents such as Tylecodon reticulatus to Tylecodon paniculatus, which may exceed two metres in height. Like practically all of the Cotyledon species, the Tylecodons are poisonous, some of them being decidedly hazardous to stock, ref Watt, John Mitchell, Breyer Brandwijk, Maria Gerdina The Medicinal and Poisonous Plants of Southern and Eastern Africa 2nd ed Pub.

None the less, some very attractive or intriguing species are popular among succulent collectors, and novices have been advised to take precautions such as wearing gloves when handling the plants.

The family includes about 1,400 species in 33 genera. No member of this family is an important agriculture crop plant, but many are popular for horticulture many members have a bizarre intriguing appearance, and are quite hardy, typically needing only minimal care. Familiar species include the Jade plant or friendship tree , Crassula ovata and Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Florists Kalanchoe , Kalanchoe blossfeldia . Classification within the family is difficult because many of the species hybridize readily, both in the wild and in cultivation.
