Unicoherent

A topological space $X$ is said to be unicoherent if it is connected and the following property holds:

For any closed, connected $A, B subset X$ with $X=A cup B$, the intersection $A cap B$ is connected.

For example, any closed interval on the real line is unicoherent, but a circle is not.
