Answer:-
★ ANDROECIUM:-
→ It is composed of stamens.
→ Each stamen which represents the male reproductive organ consists of a filament and an anther.
→ Each anther is usually bilobed and each lobe has two chambers, the pollen-sacs.
→ The pollen grains are produced in pollen-sacs.
→ A sterile stamen is called staminode.
→ Stamens may be united with other whorls like petals, sepals etc.
→ When stamens are attached to petals, they are epipetalous. E.g. brinjal.
→ When stamens are attached to perianth they are epiphyllous. E.g. lily.
→ If the stamens in a flower are free it is called polyandrous. If they are united it is called synandrous.
