monoecious

1. (botany, invertebrate) Having both the male and female reproductive organs in the same individual, either in different flowers or in the same or different flowers; hermaphrodite.Examples: "Further, species which show continuous variation that is not amenable to orthodox taxonomic treatment, and this is the situation in many monoecious plants, are treated as invariable."; "Recently, monoecious plants have been found in several places in the United States. The plants of Australia are monoecious and dioecious."; "Two factors are likely to allow the establishment of forms with reduced pollen output (i.e., fewer male flowers) in a monoecious population: increased seed fitness as a result of an increase in the ratio of female to male flowers, and a reduced rate of self-fertilisation."not-comparable
