In botany, describing plants that have both male flowers and hermaphroditic flowers on the same individual plant.
From Greek andros (male) + monoikos (single house) + -ous (full of). A specialized botanical term describing plant reproductive strategies, combining classical Greek with Linnaean taxonomy.
Some plants are incredible strategic thinkers—by having both male-only flowers and male-female flowers on the same body, they can either spread pollen widely or reproduce directly depending on environmental conditions, basically playing genetic poker.
