a male flower is called a staminate flower
a female flower is called a pistillate flower
a flower that has both male and female flowers is a perfect flower
not all flowers are perfect
I don’t think there is any specific names for distinguishing between male and female flowers, other than that I think a male has a pistil while a female has a stamen, but it could be the other way around.
most flowers are male and female, some trees and shrubs are separate
sexes, they are called male or female, nothing mysterious
flowers have both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) reproductive structures, including stamens, carpels, and an ovary.
The Female Reproductive Organs:
The pistil is the collective term for the carpel(s). Each carpel includes an ovary (where the ovules are produced; ovules are the female reproductive cells, the eggs), a style (a tube on top of the ovary), and a stigma (which receives the pollen during fertilization).
The Male Reproductive Organs:
Stamens are the male reproductive parts of flowers. A stamen consists of an anther (which produces pollen) and a filament. The pollen consists of the male reproductive cells; they fertilize ovules
