Dioecious plants such as holly have male and female flowers on separate plants. [62] Monoecious plants have separate male and female flowers on the same plant; these are often wind-pollinated, [63] as in maize, [64] but include some insect-pollinated plants such as Cucurbita squashes. [65] [66]
Since the first printing of Carl Linnaeus's Species Plantarum in 1753, plants have been assigned one epithet or name for their species and one name for their genus, a grouping of related species. [1] Many of these plants are listed in Stearn's Dictionary of Plant Names for Gardeners.

The majority of species are monoecious (bearing male and female flowers on the same plant), although some are dioecious with male and female flowers occurring ...
Linked numerical citations in the last column refer to Plants of the World. Except for Plants of the World, these books list genera alphabetically. "Latin plant name" or "Greek plant name" in the fourth column means that the name appears in Classical Latin or Greek or both for some plant, not necessarily the plant listed here.
In some species of plants, the flowers are imperfect or unisexual: having only either male (stamen) or female (carpel) parts. If unisexual male and female flowers appear on the same plant, the species is called monoecious. [23] However, if an individual plant is either female or male, the species is called dioecious.
