stamens

Male flower parts

Stamens are the pollen-producing reproductive organs of a flower.

Each stamen typically consists of a slender stalk (filament) topped by an anther, where pollen forms.

The stamens collectively make up a flower's male reproductive structure: The lily's stamens left yellow pollen stains on her white dress.
