Examine a few flowers of any cucurbit plant and try to identify the staminate and pistillate flowers. Do you know any other plant bears unisexual flowers?

Cucurbita plant bears unisexual flowers as these flowers have either the stamen or the pistil. The staminate flowers bear bright, yellow coloured petals along with stamens that represent the male reproductive structure.
