5. Anther and Filament of Stamen


anther & filament of stamen – the stamen is the male reproductive organ of an angiosperm (like a flower) and is comprised of the anther and filament.  The anther is a sac in which pollen is produced and stored.  The filament is a stalk that acts as the support for the anther.  

This flower features an anther and filament.  The white stalks are the filaments, and the darker yellow sacs at the tip of the stalks are the anthers.
