I suggest the following controlled vocabulary: monoecious (male); monoecious (female); dioecious
The definition is confusing. I suggest: The sexuality is based in the presence of the fertile whorls within the flower, may be bisexual, with both stamens (male organs) and pistils (carpels) (female organs), or unisexual, with only male (staminate flower) or female (pistillate or carpellate flower) functional organs.
I suggest to Examples and to Controlled vocabulary: Bisexual, Staminate flower and Pistillate flowers. These terms are more used in the literature (in the area of anatomy, for example, the terms male and female are usually not employed).
I suggest the following controlled vocabulary: monoecious (male); monoecious (female); dioecious
The definition is related to the sexual expression of the flower and not of the individual of a population.
Accepted @Mardiore suggestion to the controlled vocabulary. The definition will be merged too.
