Question

Papaya is a pistillate flower or staminate flower?

Answer 1

However, some are gynodioecious, meaning they have flowers that are either female or bisexual with both male and female parts on the same flower, allowing self-pollination. For papaya fruit to develop, pollen must be transferred from the staminate (male) flowers to the pistillate (female) flowers.

Answer 2

Staminate flowers serve as pollinators. These plants show 1 to 1.5 m long flower stalks hanging out from trunk. The individual flower is small, tubular and contains stamens only. Pistillate flowers are large, yellow, borne singly or in - group of three in the leaf axils close to the trunk.
