dioecious
Dioecious is a term used in botany to describe a plant species in which individual plants are either male or female. In other words, male and female flowers are found on separate plants. This is in contrast to monoecious plants where male and female flowers are found on the same plant. The term comes from the Greek words "di" which means two, and "oikos" which means house.
