オーストラリアのメルボルン市では木宛にEmailを送れると言う記事 "When You Give a Tree an Email" がReader's Digest 11月号にありました。
I am not a Mr or a Mrs, as I have what's called perfect flowers that include both genders in my flower structure, the term for this is monoecious. Some trees species have only male or female flowers on individual plants and therefore do have genders, the term for this is dioecious.
Some other trees have male flowers and female on the same tree. It is all very confusing and quite amazing how diverse and complex trees can be.
記事に説明があるので "monoecious" は雌雄同株を指していることが分かりますが、一応辞書で確認します。
・Oxford English Dictionary: (Of a plant or invertebrate animal) having both the male and female reproductive organs in the same individual; hermaphrodite.: Now monoecious trees occur in the endangered species list more than you would expect by chance.
・Dictionary.com: Biology. having both male and female organs in the same individual; hermaphroditic.: Shrubs, with monoecious or dioecious flowers in catkins, and aromatic foliage.
