Hooker says that many Balanophoræ are monoœcious but female flowers are impregnated by males of other flowers; so this is case of Dichogamy in monoœcious flowers as is common in bisexual flowers & as additions there are subsequent complementary males. Holds good in Indian & American, what use the second set of males.
