Attachment op the Anther to the Filament. — - 

 The attachment of the anther varies in different plants : 

 in some plants, as the Magnolia (Fig. 65), the anther 

 is attached on its back throughout its whole length 

 to the filament; in some plants, as the Hebinoboradzu 

 (Fig. 66) and all species of Garex, it is attached to the 

 Pia. 65. Fig. 66. Fig. 67.

filament by its base, and its anther-lobes are mostly disposed 

 oppositely ; and in some plants, as the Oniyuri (Fig. 67) 

 and Yamayuri (Lilium auratum) , it is only attached by a 

 point near its centre to the tip of the filament. When 

 attached as in the first case, the anther is said to be 

 Adnate; that attached as in the second case, Innate ; and 

 that as in the third case, Versatile.
