a plant. See Plant.

Planta Feminina, a female plant, is one which bears female flowers only. It is opposed to a male plant, which bears only male flowers; and to an androgynous one, which bears flowers of both sexes.—Female plants are produced from the same seed with the male, and arrange themselves under the class of dioecia in the sexual method.
