Monoecious

/məˈniːʃəs/ adjective

Definition

Having both male and female reproductive organs on the same individual plant, but in separate flowers. These plants produce both staminate (male) and pistillate (female) flowers on different parts of the same plant.

Etymology

From Greek 'monos' meaning single or one and 'oikos' meaning house, literally translating to 'one house.' Coined by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century as part of his plant classification system based on reproductive structures.

Kelly Says

Corn is a perfect example of botanical efficiency - the tassels at the top are male flowers releasing pollen, while the silks emerging from the ears are female flowers ready to catch it, all on the same plant!
