Embryo Development in Cocos nueifera L.: A Critical Contribution to a General Understanding of Palm Embryogenesis 

 -  Plant Systematics and Evolution, 132(1-2), p.91-106, 1979 .
<br/><br/> In Cocos (and probably in all other palms)the embryogenesis shows a number of primitive characters, such as differentiation of the embryo proper from one cell of the pluricellular proembryo, origin of the single cotyledon from a position lateral to the terminal stem tip, and a tendency to cleavage polyembryony.
