The plants have both male and female forms are dioecious.
Explanation:
The term 'dioecius' means two houses. In the dioecious plants flowers are unisexual. Both the male and female sex organs are found in separate flowers.
The flowers may be male flower or female flower. The separate plants are called as male and female plants.
In the dioecious plants sex is determined by the sex chromosomes. But this type of plants are rare.
The examples of dioecious plants are toddy (Borassus flabellifer), papaya (Carica papaya), melandrium, rumex etc.
In some lower heterosporous plants, two types of spores are produced.
