Hello,

Bisexual or ideal flowers have both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) reproductive structures, including stamens and an ovary. Flowers that have both androecium and gynoecium are called hermaphroditic.

The male reproductive organ is called the androecium and the female reproductive organ is called the gynoecium. A bisexual flower comprise of calyx, corolla, stamens, and carpel.

Thank you.

Talking about the structure of this flower then a  bisexual flower consists of calyx, corolla ,stamens and carpel and the unit of calyx is called sepal which is green in colour and is present just above the stalk of the flower.

Androecium is the male reproductive part and is also called the stamen and which is made up of an anther and filament.

Gynoecium is the female reproductive part of the flower and is also called carpel and it consists of style, stigma, and ovary.

I hope it helps you!
