The Anther, as we know, is a transformed leaf, the filament being its petiole. The two anther- lobes are the halves of the leaf-blade. The con- nective is the midrib; sometimes it is scarcely perceptible, as in the Grasses and Lilies; again it is a mere prolongation of the filament, as in the Hepatiea (Fig. 168, G); or it is Produced (prolonged beyond the anther - lobes), as in the Wild Ginger, the Hand - flower, the Lotus- Lily ; in the Humirium (Fig, 168, E) the produced j,,^ «mbogo (UOrmlendron gambogioid^): connective is iiesny and a, cf fl.; 6, same, showing stamens; c, anther; de- much larger than the an- hiscence circumscissile. ther-lobes. 262. Attachment.—The Anther is Adnate when one face is at- tached to the side of the filament (Magnolia); Innate, when at- tached by its base to the apex of the filament (Hepatiea, Fig. 168, G); Versatile, when attached by its middle to the apex of the fila- ment (Grasses, Lilies). 263. Facing of the Anther.— The Anther is Extrorse when it faces outward from the pistil (Tulip - tree); Jntrorse when it faces inward towards the pistil (Vine, Magnolia). 264. Anther-Cells, or Lobes.— Nearly all anthers are quadri- loculnr, or four-celled (L. loculus, little cell), when young. Some- times this condition persists, as in Poranthera (t'ig. 168, B); but usually the anther becomes Bi- FiG. ,,, Cinnamon (Ciimamomwrnzfy- lacula'r (2-celled) at maturity, as .„.«.»1: 6. senarate anther. j^ the Hemtica CFifr. 168 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illust
