Tricolpate refers to a subclassification of the "Eudicot" monophyletic group, the "true dicotyledons" (which are distinguished from all other flowering plants by their Tricolpate pollen structure). The number of Pollen grain furrows or pores helps classify the flowering plants, with eudicots having three colpi (tricolpate), and other groups having one sulcus.
