Plants or organisms where female reproductive organs develop at the apex or tip.
From Greek akron (tip) + gyne (female). The botanical term identifies plants based on where their female reproductive structures are positioned.
In mosses and liverworts, acrogynae structures show that plants evolved sophisticated ways to position their sex organs for maximum pollination efficiency—nature's version of strategic real estate.
