Dicliny means unisexuality it is of two types. Monecious dicliny- ex curbita, maize. Stamens and pistils are present on different flowers but on same plant. This prevents autogamy but not geitenogamy and xenogamy. Diecious dicliny- ex papaya, borasus. Male flowers and female flowers are present on two different plants this condition prevents autogamy gietenogamy but encourages xenogamy.
