In botany, a class of plants with hermaphroditic or both male and female reproductive parts.
From Greek gynē (woman) + andr- (man) + -ia (condition), a Linnaean botanical classification term created in the 18th century.
Carl Linnaeus created this term as part of his sexual classification system for plants—he literally categorized flowers by their 'marriage arrangements,' which was revolutionary for understanding plant biology but also reflected 18th-century obsessions with gender and sexuality!
