ABSTRACT LEWIS1 classified the English flora according to the frequency and distribution of sex forms in the species, genera and families. There are three basic sex forms in flowering plants


and some species may be combinations of more than one of the three. Most flowering plants are hermaphrodite, having both sexes in the same flower. A species which has separate male and


female flowers on the same plant is monoecious, and a species with male and female flowers on different individuals is dioecious. Using Black's flora2, the species of the South


Australian flora are classified into these sex forms in Table 1. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution
