Dioecious is the term for the need of two flowers in order to make seeds.

Specifically, a flower is considered monoecious if it has completely functional male and female floral parts. It is described as dioecious if seeding cannot take place through the flowering efforts of one plant. Both terms trace their origins back to the ancient Greek for "one house" in the case of complete functioning and "two houses" in the case of the need for reinforcements.
