Botanical term (monoecious) for plants that carry both male and female sexual organs, so to speak "on the same house" (plant). These can occur separately on a plant, but also as a common bisexual organ in the form of a hermaphrodite flower, as is usually the case with the cultivated vine. In contrast, there are also dioecious or unisexual plants. See also under flower, vine systematics and grapevine.
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
