    -Some examples of monoecious plants are Maize, Cucumber, Chara, Fig, Melon, and Coconut.
    -It's commonly known as a hermaphrodite or bisexual flower when a flower possesses both male and female reproductive organs.
    -It's known as unisexual when a flower just has male or female reproductive organs. Both staminate and pistillate flowers can be found on a single plant in a monoecious species.
