A stamen (microsporophyll) is made of a filament and an anther; the anther has two lobes joined by a connective, and each lobe contains two pollen sacs where pollen grains develop.
Since a hand-drawn diagram cannot be rendered in this format, here is a complete, clearly labelled description of stamen structure exactly as it would be drawn and labelled in an exam diagram:
-
Filament: The stalk-like, thread-like basal part of the stamen that attaches it to the thalamus or the corolla; it supports the anther and elevates it for effective pollen dispersal.
-
Anther: The terminal, enlarged, usually bilobed structure borne at the tip of the filament; it is the actual pollen-producing part of the stamen.
-
Connective: The sterile tissue that joins the two lobes of the anther together, continuous with the filament.
-
Anther lobes (two): Each anther typically has two lobes, making the anther 'dithecous'.
