Polygamous, a term applied to plants which bear both unisexual and hermaphrodite flowers, either on the same or on different individual plants. For example, the maple produces male, female, and hermaphrodite flowers on the same tree; while some ash-trees sometimes bear male only, others female, and others hermaphrodite flowers.
