List of dicotyledons of Montana
- This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
There are at least 2109 species of dicotyledons found in Montana according to the Montana Field Guide. [1] This is a list of Dicotyledoneae orders found in Montana. The Montana Natural Heritage Program has identified a number of dicot species as "Species of Concern".[2] Some of these species are exotics (not native to Montana).[3]
The dicotyledons, also known as dicots, are a group of flowering plants whose seed typically has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons. There are around 199,350 species within this group.[4] Flowering plants that are not dicotyledons are monocotyledons, typically having one embryonic leaf.

Designation as a Montana Species of Concern or Potential Species of Concern is based on the Montana Status Rank, and is not a statutory or regulatory classification. Rather, these designations provide information that helps resource managers make proactive decisions regarding species conservation and data collection priorities.
