3. anther (Gk., flowering) - the sporogenous portion or pollen-bearing part of the stamen.
4. filament (L., filamentum, a thread) the stalk which supports the anther in a stamen.
5. stamen (L., stamen, a filament) the basic unit of the androecium; the pollen-producing organ of the flower; the male part of the flower; generally though to be homologous with a microsporophyll.
6. receptacle (L., receptaculum, a reservoir) the expanded apex of the pedicel upon which the flower series are inserted.
7. stigma (Gk., a point) the point or region of the gynoecium which is receptive to pollen; usually apical and in the form of a point, disc, lobe or line.
8. style (Gk., a column) the elongate neck of the gynoecium; the portion between the ovary and the stigma.
9. ovary (L., ovum an egg) the lower swollen portion of the gynoecium which contains the ovules.
10. pistil (L., pistillum, a pestle) a component of the gynoecium, consisting of a single stigma, style, and placenta.
11. sepal (Gk., a covering)
12. calyx (Gk., a cup) the outermost floral series; composed of sepals, it is typically green and serves to cover the flower bud.
13. peduncle - the stalk of an inflorescence or solitary flower.
