Bamboo and yucca flower only once in their lifetime. Such plants are called what?

1. Plants can also be classified by how often they flower. 2. Monocarpic plants flower only once in their lifetime, and bamboo and yucca are the examples given. 3. During the long vegetative period before that flowering they may reproduce asexually and store a great deal of food material. 4. Soon after flowering and setting seed, these plants die. 5. Polycarpic plants such as apple and orange trees flower many times, so they are the contrasting class. 6. Monoecious and dioecious describe how male and female flowers are distributed, not how often a plant flowers. _Source: OpenStax Biology (1st ed., CC BY 4.0), Ch 32 "Plant Reproduction", section 32.3 Asexual Reproduction_
