Palm flowers are occasionally bisexual, but usually they are unisexual. When unisexual, the flowers of each sex may be on the same plant or, as in humans, only one sex is found per individual. The flowers are small and are generally borne on large, many-branched stems (inflorescences) that are located within the crown or Jirst below it Flower parts are normally in threes. The pollination biology of palms is not well studied, nevertheless, both wind and insect pollinaticn ate ccnrmcn in the family.
