The anther is the fertile part of the stamen and usually consists of two distinguishable, contiguous parts, called thecae, joined by an area called the connective, which is also where the anther joins the filament. It is usually formed by two thecae, sometimes it can be constituted by a single theca as in malvaceae and cannaceae or by three in ...
The disk floret is bisexual with female parts (one pistil containing one style, two stigmas, and an ovary with one ovule) and male parts (stamen, anthers, and filaments). Labeled parts are as follows: 1 – two stigmas, shown opened (if closed, they would appear as an extension of the style); 2 – style; 3 – five anthers fus...
Valvular – anthers opening through valves or small flaps; e.g. Berberis. Versatile – anthers pivoting freely on the filament. Pollen – Stamen – Anther – the distal end of the stamen where pollen is produced, normally composed of two parts called anther-sacs and pollen-sacs . Filament – the stalk of a stamen.

To distinguish the two species, the only reliable characters are the lengths of the filaments and anthers. In absolute terms, the filaments and anthers of T. scouleri are almost always longer than the corresponding characters in T. ovatum. The minimum, average, and maximum lengths of the filaments and anthers of each species is as follows: [3]
