The tiny, yellow flowers are generally six-petaled; S. albidum and (the extinct) S. hesperia are dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate trees, while S. tzumu and S. randaiense have male and female flowers occurring on the same trees. The fruit is a drupe, blue-black when ripe. [4]
Sassafras tzumu and Sassafras randaiense differ from the North American species in that they may have both male flowers with 3 staminodes and 1 rudimentary pistil, and female flowers with 12 staminodes on the same tree, while the North American species (see Sassafras albidum) are dioecious (individual plants bear only male or only female ...
The sassafras tree, (Sassafras albidum), sports an unlobed leaf (football), one-lobed leaf (mitten) and a two-lobed leaf (ghost). Native Plant: Tall coreopsis is the symbol of summer in central Ohio
Along with Sassafras tzumu, Sassafras randaiense is distinguished from the North American Sassafras albidum and extinct Sassafras hesperia by some important characteristics, including that they may have both male flowers and female flowers on the same tree, while the North American species are dioecious (individual plants bear only male or only female flowers).
Or, with bisexual and at least one of male and female flowers on the same plant. [2] Protandrous: (of dichogamous plants) having male parts of flowers developed before female parts, e.g. having flowers that function first as male and then change to female or producing pollen before the stigmas of the same plant are receptive.

Sassafras albidum is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 15–20 m (49–66 ft) tall, with a canopy up to 12 m (39 ft) wide, [7] with a trunk up to 60 cm (24 in) in diameter, and a crown with many slender sympodial branches.
Common names include Peruvian nutmeg, [3] tihue or trihue (from the Mapuche language), and Chilean laurel [4] or Chilean sassafras. It is endemic to Chile , occurring at 34–41° south latitude. It requires a warm subtropical to tropical climate that is cool but also frost-free or with only very slight winter frosts not below −4 °C (25 °F ...
Gynodioecy / ˌ dʒ ɪ n oʊ d aɪ ˈ iː s i / is a rare breeding system that is found in certain flowering plant species in which female and hermaphroditic plants coexist within a population. Gynodioecy is the evolutionary intermediate between hermaphroditism (exhibiting both female and male parts) and dioecy (having two distinct morphs: male ...
