Andromonoecy

Andromonoecy is a breeding system of plant species in which male and hermaphrodite flowers are on the same plant. It is a monomorphic sexual system comparable with monoecy, gynomonoecy and trimonoecy. Andromonoecy is frequent among genera with zygomorphic flowers, however it is overall rare and occurs in less than 2% of plant species. Nonetheless the breeding system has gained interest among biologists in the study of sex expression.

Etymology
The word andromonoecious is a combination of andr- (meaning male) and monoecious and was first used in 1877. == Prevalence ==
Prevalence
Andromonoecy is uncommon and has been estimated to occur in less than 2% of plant species. It is common in the grass subfamily Panicoideae.

Evolution
Some authors view andromonoecy as a transitional state from hermaphroditism to monoecy. If female flowers are better at producing seeds than hermaphroditic ones, andromonoecy could evolve towards monoecy. == References ==
