Gynomonoecy

Gynomonoecy is defined as the presence of both female and hermaphrodite flowers on the same individual of a plant species.

[2] It is a monomorphic sexual system comparable with monoecy, andromonoecy and trimonoecy.

[3] This sexual system occurs in about 2.8% of flowering plants.

[8] Gynomonoecy may be an intermediate evolutionary state between monoecy and hermaphroditism.

[10] In families like Compositae or Chenopodiaceae, gynomonoecy is considered leading path to monoecy from hermaphroditism and vice versa.
