The condition or practice of lacking male reproductive organs or masculine characteristics.
From Greek a- ('without') + andry (from Greek aner, andros, meaning 'man' or 'male'). This botanical and biological term describes organisms missing male features or reproductive capacity.
In plants, apandry can occur naturally—some flowers develop without any male parts, which completely changes how they reproduce and survive in their environment!
