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.
