Incomplete flower — A flower is said to be an incomplete flower if one or more sets of floral whorls are missing. E.g. American Elm.
Staminate flower — A unisexual flower which contains only the stamens is called the male or staminate flower. E.g. Eastern Cottonwood.
Pistillate flower — A flower which contains only the carpels is called the female or pistillate flower. E.g. Date Palm.
Bisexual flower — A flower which contains both stamens and carpels is called a bisexual or hermaphrodite flower. E.g. Rose.
