Oligandrous Plants: Understanding the Lack of Stigmas in Botany

Oligandrous (ol-i-GAN-drus) is a term used in botany to describe a plant that has few or no stigmas. The stigma is the part of the pistil that receives pollen, so an oligandrous plant is one that does not have many or any receptive surfaces for pollen. This can affect the plant's ability to reproduce sexually.
