I have found androgynaecandrous for androginecandras but nothing for ginandróginas.... Could it be gynandrogynous....?
Thanks in advance

gynandrogynous
Although not widely used, the term "gynandrogyny" does appear in published gender literature (it may have recently been coined, and in the example below appears in quotation marks), so the derived adjective (gynandrogynous) could be acceptable too.
"Woolf and Dickinson, respectively, attempt to negotiate the search for linguistic neutrality through the exploration of a consistently shifting sexuality, a "gynandrogyny"—or, a situated subjectivity that is at once neither and both."

PS: In this type of text, I would avoid giving the "andro" component pride of place at the start of the word, to appease any possible anti-TERF zealots who might see it as the enduring oppression of patriarchy.

: I'm suspicious both of the Spanish and English terms because they're so rare, and this is not about gender studies, but it does seem to be what the writer is saying.

Yes, it's definitely a bit iffy ;.)

gynaecandrous
Another option, and seems to fit the description (flores femeninas en el ápice, masculinas en la parte media y femeninas en la base):
gynaecandrous
adjective
gynae·can·drous
: bearing both staminate and pistillate flowers in the same cluster with the female flowers uppermost

(In Cyperaceae) with male and female flowers on the same spike or spikelet, the female above the male
https://www.healthbenefitstimes.com/glossary/gynaecandrous/
If the pistillate inflorescence is terminal or the pistillate flowers are terminal in a spike with the staminate flowers at the bottom of the spike, the condition is referred to as “gynaecandrous.”

After further research, maybe "mixed spike":
f/rn = gynaecandrous spike; rn/f = androgynous spike; f/m/f= mixed spike; rn = entirely male spike; f= entirely
female spike; + = physical connection proved between spikes
https://era.ed.ac.uk/bitstream/handle/1842/11215/Noltie2000....
. Inflorescences 4-35 cm; proximal bract 15-85 cm, much longer than inflorescence; proximal (2-)3-6 spikes pistillate, erect or the proximal pendent, cylindric, 12-18 mm thick; terminal staminate or, sometimes, gynaecandrous, androgynous, or mixed.

Yes, more to it than meets the eye, though can't find any evidence of the word in question. f/m = gynaecandrous spike; m/f = androgynous spike; f/m/f = mixed spike;
