The answer is one cotyledon. The plant you are describing is a monocot. Monocots have flowering blooms with petals in multiples of three and their major leaf veins are parallel as describe in the question. Monocots contain one cotyledon. Mono = one and Cot is short for cotyledon. Monocot = one cotyledon.
