Answer 1

I'm not entirely sure, but I would bet it was a long time ago.

"Among the earliest of botanical works, written around 300 B.C., are two large treatises by Theophrastus: On the History of Plants (Historia Plantarum) and On the Causes of Plants. Together these books constitute the most important contribution to botanical science during antiquity and on into the Middle Ages."

Answer 2

cfpops is right, it goes way back ...

Linnaeus, the guy who set up the binomial naming system that we still use today also had a system of grouping plants based on the numbers of male and female parts ... it was called the "sexual system". It never took off because it was a completely artificial system and didn't necessarily put related plants together. More natural systems prevailed.

His system was published in 1735 but the concept of male and female parts in flowers goes back way earlier.

Answer 3

Some crackhead cause they arent female and male. They dont bang eachother.
