The botanical condition or system where a plant has both male and hermaphroditic flowers on the same individual.
From andromonoecious + -ism (a system or condition). The noun form of the botanical adjective, part of specialized botanical taxonomy developed in the 18th-19th centuries.
Botanists have created an entire vocabulary of -isms to describe plant sex strategies—andromonoecism, gynomonoecism, hermaphroditism—showing that in nature, there are far more than two reproductive strategies, even in organisms without brains.
