Monoeciuos vs dioecious

In addition to Edaurdo's posting, Pothoidium lobbianum from the Philippines
and Muluku, has functionally dioecious plants with male inflorescences
carrying flowers in which the gynoecium is atrophied, and female in which
the androecium is atrophied or missing.
Addionally, Arisaema is, of course, paradioecious.
