Stamens are the male parts of the flower. Their task is to produce pollen. The typical stamen consists of a filament and an anther. The anther contains microsporangia which release pollen when mature. In the flower, stamens are usually located between the perianth and the carpels. Stamens or their parts can be joined (e.g. anthers of the Asteraceae family fuse into a tube). Some ornamental plant cultivars have a richer perianth as a result of stamens transforming to tepal-like organs.
