Heya !!!
Here's the answer !!
The phenomenon of maturation of androecium and gynoecium at different timings is called as DICHOGAMY.
♦It is a outbreeding device (adaptation or contrivance) that promote cross pollination.
➡ It's of 2 types :
▶Protandry : Release of pollen before the stigma becomes receptive. In other words early maturation of androecium when still the gynoecium is immature.
Example : Sunflower
▶Protogyny : Stigma becomes receptive much before the release of pollen . In other words , the gynoecium matures soon when still the androecium is immature.
Example : Solanum, Datura
Hope this helps you :)
