Usage Examples English
  • "Lacandonia" is a mycoheterotrophic plant that contains no chlorophyll and has the unusual characteristic of inverted positions of the male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) floral parts, something that had not been seen in any other plants, with the exceptions of "Trithuria" and on occasion the related "Triuris brevistylis".
  • The androecium consists of 4 free, epipetalous stamens, all of which are fertile.
  • The stamen (plural "stamina" or "stamens") is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower. Collectively the stamens form the androecium.
  • The five-sided androecium ring wall is divided into five sections that alternate with the sepals.
  • Flowers have a tetradynamous androecium, with four long and two short stamens.

  • Anatomical changes begin at the edge of the meristem, generating first the outer whorls of the flower - the calyx and the corolla, and later the inner whorls of the flower, the androecium and gynoecium.
  • The corolla has 5 free petals and an androecium of numerous stamens, typically with free filaments which are not fused in a staminal tube (column).
  • The terminology of the positions of ovaries is determined by the insertion point, where the other floral parts (perianth and androecium) come together and attach to the surface of the ovary.
  • The corresponding terms for the male parts of those plants are clusters of antheridia within the androecium.
  • The androecium consists of four pollinia.

  • In these cases the function of attracting pollinators is fulfilled by the androecium.
  • 8 mm long) glabrous (smooth) stalk, or ("androgynophore" - a stalk bearing both the androecium and gynoecium of a flower).
  • Similar in form to "Mauloutchia" in all vegetative and inflorescence characters, but unambiguously different in its monocyclic androecium (multiple stamens) with 3–4 strictly sessile anthers.
  • The androecium is obdiplostemonous. Only a few genera are tetramerous ("Francoa, Tetilla, Melianthus").
  • The androecium has stamens with rigid filament and the seeds present endotesta.

  • The plural form is antheridia, and a structure containing one or more antheridia is called an androecium.
  • The rostellum is a projecting part of the column in Orchidaceae flowers, and separates the male androecium from the female gynoecium, commonly preventing self-fertilisation.
  • The calyx is made up of 4–5 imbricate sepals; the corolla has 3–5 composite petals; the androecium has 8-10 stamens; the gynoecium has a superior ovary with 2 carpels and white stigmas.
  • Most flowers consist of a single whorl of sepals termed a calyx; a single whorl of petals termed a corolla; one or more whorls of stamens (together termed the androecium); and a single whorl of carpels termed the gynoecium.
