Plants can be male, female or hermaphrodite, giving rise to dioecious, monoecious, gynodioecious or androdioecious populations, which is very unusual in the plant kingdom. Male plants have their flowers arranged at the tips of long stalks arising from the leaf axils and projecting beyond the leaves. Female plants have their flowers in sessile ...
Andromonoecy is a breeding system of plant species in which male and hermaphrodite flowers are on the same plant. [1] It is a monomorphic sexual system comparable with monoecy, gynomonoecy and trimonoecy. [2] Andromonoecy is frequent among genera with zygomorphic flowers, [3] however it is overall rare and occurs in less than 2% of plant ...
Catkin-bearing plants include many trees or shrubs such as birch, willow, aspen, hickory, sweet chestnut, and sweetfern (Comptonia). [citation needed]In many of these plants, only the male flowers form catkins, and the female flowers are single (hazel, oak), a cone (), or other types ().
Male and female flowers evolve from hermaphroditic flowers [19] via andromonoecy or gynomonoecy. [20]: 148 In amaranths monoecy may have evolved from hermaphroditism through various processes caused by male sterility genes and female fertility genes. [20]: 150 Monoecy may be an intermediate state between hermaphroditism and dioecy. [21]

The flowers form in a dense cluster at the top of the main stem; they are divided into a female portion below, and a tassel of male flowers above; the female and male parts are separated by a gap of 3–8 centimetres (1.2–3.1 in) (rarely to 12 cm) of bare stem, which distinguishes the species readily from Typha latifolia where there is no gap ...
In an epigynous flower, the stamens, petals, and sepals are attached to the hypanthium at the top of the ovary or, occasionally, the hypanthium may extend beyond the top of the ovary. Epigynous flowers are often referred to as having an inferior ovary. Plant families with epigynous flowers include orchids, asters, and evening primroses.
