Notes
Flower sex:
Flower sex refers to the presence or absence of androecium and gynoecium within a flower.
1) Perfect or bisexual:
If a flower contains both androecium and gynoecium it is called a perfect flower.
|
Bisexual flower |
2) Imperfect or unisexual:
When the flower contains only one of the essential whorls is called an Imperfect flower. It is of two types:
- Staminate flowers: Flowers with androecium alone.
Male flower
ii) Pistillate flowers: Flowers with gynoecium alone.
Female flower
