Another term for androgyny; the condition of possessing both male and female characteristics.
From Greek 'androgyn-' + '-ia' (noun suffix). A variant form of 'androgyny' found in medical and botanical literature, especially in older texts.
In botanical texts, androgynia describes flowers that have both stamens (male) and pistils (female)—about 90% of flowering plants are technically androgynous, making the hermaphroditic flower the norm, not the exception.
