| Androecial hood: Couroupita guianensis-type | In this type of hood, there is an appendage-free area between the staminal ring and the androecial hood proper. The appendages bear normal looking anthers but they contain fodder pollen (=staminodes) and the hood is slightly thickened. |  |
| Androecial hood: Couroupita subsessilis-type | This type of androecial hood has three features: 1) an invagination, 2) a notch on the distal end as viewed from above, and 3) staminodes. |  |
| Androecial hood: Eschweilera-type | In this type of hood, the interior of the hood forms an inward coil and the vestigial stamens at the end of the coil are nectar-producing. |  |
| Androecial hood: Lecythis corrugata-type | In this type of androecial hood, the hood is flat and thickened, there are no appendages with anthers on the hood, and the vestigial stamens are poorly developed. |  |
| Androecial hood: Lecythis idatimon-type | The androecial hood is flat and there are only vestigial stamens representing the appendages of the hood. |  |
| Androecial hood: Lecythis ollaria-type | This type of androecial hood turns inward but does not form a complete coil, the vestigial stamens are all the same size, and lack anthers; thus, they are called vestigial stamens. |  |
| Androecial hood: Lecythis persistens subsp. persistens-type | The androecial hood of this type is flat and the appendages of the hood are with anthers that bear fodder pollen and, thus, are called staminodes |  |
| Androecial hood: Lecythis pisonis-type | The androecial hood is separated from the staminal ring, the hood is flat, and there are staminodes proximally and vestigial stamens distally. |  |
| Androecium (pl. = androecia) | The male part of the flower. |  |
| Androecium actinomorphic | Capable of being divided in more than one plane into two or more equal halves; usually, but not always, used to describe flowers. |  |
| Androecium zygomorphic | The prolongation of one side of the androecium of all species of |
 |
| Androphore | A stalk elevated above the point of perianth attachment which supports the stamens. |  |
| Anisocytic stomata | Referring to a stomatal type in which one of the subsidiary cells surrounding a stomate is smaller than the other epidermal cells. |  |
| Anomocytic stomata | Referring to a stomatal type in which the subsidiary cells surrounding a stomate are not differentiated from the other epidermal cells. | |
| Anterior | ||
| Anterior end of flower | The most distal end of the flower but not including inner coils, i.e., the end of a zygomorphic-flowered Lecythidaceae into which a pollinator enters to reap a pollinator reward. |  |
| Anterior hood extension | An extension of the ligule beyond the point where the androecial hood splits into two extensions, this extension is the uppermost division of the androecial hood split and extends forward from the split. |  |
| Anther | The pollen-bearing part of the stamen. |  |
| Anther connective | The tissue that connects the thecae on one side of an anther to the thecae on the other side. |  |
| Anther dehiscence lateral | Anthers that dehisce by lateral slits. |  |
