Morphological Structure of the Anther of Tsusiophyllum tanakae Maxim

Abstract

The anther of the genus Tsusiophyllum dehisces by the longitudinal slits, on the other hand, that of the genus Rhododendron by the apical pore. The genus Tsusiophyllum sometimes is united to the genus Rhododendron. However, the anther-structures of both genera are completely different each other.
