Answer:
There are three types of androecium according to the attachment and cohesion (joining) of stamens:
- Monoadelphous
- Diadelphous
- Polyadelphous
Explanation:
- In androecium, stamens may be free (For example : Petunia) or joined in different kinds like in single group , double group or in several groups.
Monoadelphous (Single group):
- Stamens are United in one group by their filaments. Only anthers are free.
Example: China Rose (Hibiscus), cotton.
Diadelphous (Two groups):
- The filaments are united in two bundles.

Polyadelphous (Several groups):
