The splitting open of an anther for the discharge of its pollen is termed its Dehiscence. 295. As the figures show, this is commonly by length of each cell, either lateral or, when the anthers are extroise, often along the outer face, and when introrse, along the inner face of each cell. Some- times the opening is only by a chink, hole, or pore at the top, as in the Azalea, Py- rola (Fig. 307), etc.; sometimes a part of the face separates as a sort of trap-door (or valve), hinged at the top, and open- ing to allow the escape of the pollen, as in the Sassafras, Spice-bush, and Barberry (Fig. 308). 296.
