Anther
an organized body constituting part of a stamen and generally attached to the apex of the filament.
As a rule, it is composed of two parallel lobes or cells; sometimes, however, there are four, and sometimes only one. The cells are united by the connective, and contain pollen. When the time for shedding it arrives, the anthers burst generally by a longitudinal fissure from the base to the apex.
Anther dust, the pollen from an anther.
It constitutes a yellow dust, which, when it falls from the atmosphere, has often been mistaken for a shower of sulphur.
