agamic

These summer forms are known as the stem mothers or agamic females.

Stem-mother: in plant lice; that form hatching from the winter egg, which starts a series of agamic summer generations.

These institutions may perhaps come to be training stations of a new-old type, the agamic or even agenic woman, be she nut, maid—old or young—nun, school-teacher, or bachelor woman.
