Each stamen has a free filament, inflexed in the bud and replicate upon itself close to the summit, so that the anther, later oscillant, is introrse, as well in the bud, when the filament is incurved, as in the newly opened flower, when the filament is erect and has become exserted. It is, moreover. 1 It is clearly seen in certain species in which tissue, sometimes coloured.
