{{Breadcrumb}}{{Infobox ploidacot|Ploids=1|Shears=0|Cots=1|Pergen=[P8, P5]|Forms=5, 7, 12|Title=Monocot}}'''Monocot''' is a temperament archetype where the generator is a [[3/2]] perfect fifth, and the period is a [[2/1]] octave. In other words, it is the standard chain of fifths, repeating every octave. Monocot temperaments usually generate the (mos)diatonic scale ([[5L 2s]]) and one of its chromatic children ([[5L 7s]] or [[7L 5s]]) (though there are exotempered exceptions such as [[mavila]] ([[2L 5s]]) and [[trienstonian]] ([[5L 3s]])) and as such they are very commonly used and are a well-explored category of temperaments.

Monocot is the only ploidacot to have an agreed-upon, fully unambiguous scheme for interval and note names, which can be found at [[Chain-of-fifths notation]].

[[Trienstonian]] is an exotemperament where the fifth is sharpened so that the major sixth is [[7/4]]. This is thus tuned best with tunings around or sharp of [[5edo]], which do not generate a (usable) diatonic scale.
