Definition
A class of plants in the Linnaean sexual classification system, characterized by having exactly six stamens in their flowers.
Etymology
From Greek 'hex-' (six) + 'andria' (from 'aner' meaning male, referring to stamens). This was Linnaeus's sexual classification system for plants based on the number of male reproductive organs.
Kelly Says
Linnaeus's system grouped lilies, tulips, and onions together as Hexandria just because they had six stamens—this sexual classification system helped organize nature but was eventually replaced because reproductive structures don't always reflect evolutionary relationships.
