A flower's stamen or male reproductive organ is composed of a stalk-like filament and a knob-like terminal anther.
Each anther contains two lobes connected at the back by a sterile band called the connective.
When both anther lobes are present, the stamen is referred to as bithecous (or dithecous).
A tetrasporangiate dithecous anther has four microsporangia.
Two microsporangia can be found in each lobe, separated by a strap of sterile tissue.
The stamen is referred to as monothecous when only one anther lobe is present.
