Clowesia rosea is monoecious, (has both male and female parts on one flower).

I believe species within the genus Clowesia are generally monoecious. If there are any outliers, I'm not aware of them.

Fyi, monoecious is having the male and female reproductive organs in separate flowers on the same plant. Clowesia are suppose to have perfect flowers (male and female organs in a flower). Most Catasetums are dioecious ( having male and female reproductive organs in separate plants).

Catasetum can also have both male and female flowers on the same spike! My Ctsm fimbriatum loves to do it!
