As an addition to discussion about monoecious and other terminology
related to plant sexuality, I would suggest reading
Cruden, R.W. and R.M. Lloyd. 1995. Embryophytes have
equivalent sexual phenotypes and breeding systems: why
not a common terminology to describe them? Am. J. Bot.
82(6):816-825.
Mogie, M. 1992. The evolution of asexual reproduction in
plants. Chapman and Hall. London & New York.
(esp. good with the many terms like parthenogenesis that used in
different ways by different authors).
