Androdioecious
Definition
Pertaining to plants or vegetable species whose populations structurally exhibit two distinct types of individuals: some bearing exclusively male flowers and others bearing only hermaphroditic (bisexual) flowers. This rare reproductive system plays an essential structural role in evolutionary genetics, acting as an intermediate mechanism to promote cross-pollination.
