The quality or condition of having six stamens; the state of being hexandrous.
From 'hexandr-' (the stem form of hexandria) + '-y' (a suffix forming abstract nouns). Another way to express the concept of six-stamen flowers in the Linnaean system.
Hexandry was Linnaeus's way of saying 'this flower has exactly six male parts'—it sounds formal and scientific, but it was essentially his filing system before computers, allowing him to organize thousands of plants into manageable groups.
