Andromonoecy is being reported for the first time in Glossonema varians (Stocks) Hook.f. and in the family Asclepiadaceae. Each inflorescence has 2 perfect and 2-6 male flowers. Both type of flowers have similar qualitative characters. However, perfect flowers can easily be recognized due to relatively large size to their component parts, trullate corona lobes, corpusculum partially covered by anther flap, presence of stigmatic chambers, anther wings, normal styles and ovaries and male flowers on the basis of relatively smaller size of their components parts, obtrullate corona lobes, corpusculum not covered by anther flap, rudimentary styles and ovaries, absence of stigmatic chambers and anther wings.
