dicliny

The separation of male and female reproductive parts into different flowers. Diclinous plants may either have female and male unisexual flowers on the same individual (monoecy) or on different individuals (dioecy). The term diclinous may also refer to the flowers themselves, in which case it is equivalent to the term unisexual. Compare hermaphrodite.
