reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from different flowers on the same plant. |

reproduction |
inflorescence |
Bearing flowers of three differing sexual constitutions; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
male |
= masculine |
reproduction |
|
Of the sex that produces microspores and sperm. |
|
polygamomonoecious |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Basically monoecious but with some or all plants bearing some bisexual flowers. |
|
apogamous |
< apomictic, asexual |
reproduction |
taxon, plant |
Producing new sporophytes from the gametophytes asexually, without intervening fertilization (or gametes). |
|
sterile |
|
reproduction |
plant, reproductive structure |
Not producing functional spores, gametes, pollen, ovules, seeds, or other propagules. |
|
amphimictic |
|
reproduction |
taxon, plant |
Reproducing sexually. |
|
self-fertilizing |
= autogamous, automictic, idiogamous, selfing; > geitonogamous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from the same plant. |
|
polygamous |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Having both bisexual and unisexual flowers, borne on the same or on different plants. |
|
bisexual |
= hermaphroditic |
reproduction |
|
Having functional reproductive structures of both sexes. See also perfect. |
|
female |
= feminine |
reproduction |
|
Of the sex that produces megaspores and ova. |
|
cross-fertilizing |
= allogamous, allomictic, exogamous, xenogamous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from different plants. |
|
selfing |
= autogamous, automictic, idiogamous, self-fertilizing; > geitonogamous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from the same plant. |
|
apomictic |
= asexual; > agamospermous, apogamous, aposporous, vegetative |
reproduction |
taxon, plant |
Producing new plants by means not involving meiosis or fertilization. |
|
monoclinous |
= synoecious |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having all flowers functionally bisexual; this condition is implied by default if no other is specified. See also diclinous. |
|
trioecious |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Having some flowers or spikelets functionally unisexual and some bisexual, some plants having only staminate or only pistillate types, other plants having only bisexual types. |
|
vegetative |
< apomictic, asexual |
reproduction |
plant |
Producing new plants asexually by proliferation or fragmentation of sterile tissue, without formation of embryos (or seeds). The logical antecedent of this term is "reproduction," not the taxon in point or "plants," and syntax should be governed accordingly. Whenever this mode of reproduction is noted, the relevant propagative structures should be identified. |
|
digamous |
|
reproduction |
inflorescence |
Bearing flowers of two differing sexual constitutions; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
monoecious |
< diclinous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having all flowers or spikelets functionally unisexual, and all plants having both staminate and pistillate types. See also dioecious. |
|
feminine |
= female |
reproduction |
|
Of the sex that produces megaspores and ova. |
|
fertile |
|
reproduction |
plant, reproductive structure |
Producing functional spores, gametes, pollen, ovules, seeds, or other propagules. |
|
aposporous |
< apomictic, asexual |
reproduction |
taxon, plant |
Producing new gametophytes from the sporophytes asexually, without intervening meiosis (or spores). |
|
synoecious |
= monoclinous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having all flowers functionally bisexual; this condition is implied by default if no other is specified. See also diclinous. |
|
homogamous 2 |
|
reproduction |
plant, inflorescence |
Having flowers that do not differ in sexual constitution. |
|
viviparous |
|
reproduction |
|
Producing sexually or asexually generated offspring that begin growth and development while borne upon the parent plant. |
