Flowers that lack at least one of the whorls of reproductive parts, male or female, are said to be imperfect (unisexual). Flowers with only stamens are called staminate flowers (male flowers); left side of the photo. Flowers with only carpels are called carpellate flowers (female flowers); right side of the photo. This example is watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). |
