Verified by Experts

A plant with unisexual flowers may be either monoecious, i.e. both male and female flowers are borne on the same plantas in cucurbits, or dioecious, i.e. male and female flowers on different plants as in papaya and mulberry. A plant bearing bisexual, unisexual and even neutral flowers is said to be polygamous, e.g. Polygonum and mango.
