Understanding flower structure helps here. A complete flower has sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils. An imperfect flower is missing either the stamens or the pistils. Since missing a floral part means it lacks one of the four floral organs, imperfect flowers are by definition incomplete. So every imperfect flower is an incomplete flower. For example, a pistillate flower has pistils but no stamens, and a staminate flower has stamens but no pistils; both cases are incomplete and imperfect.
