Default Self-fertile plants

In article , Hussein M.
writes

With the only monoecious plant I have any experience of (ie female
plants with exclusively female flowers and male plants with
exclusively male flowers), the female plant under conditions of stress
may produce a sprinkling of male flowers so the plant has the
potential to turn hermaphrodite.


s/monoecious/dioecious/

monoecious is both sexes on ONE plant (but separate male and female
flowers)

dioecious is one sex on each of TWO plants.
