| Centrifugal stamen initiation | A developmental process in which the stamens first initate near the center of the androecium (i.e., around the style) and then progressively toward the outside of the androecium. In other words, the stamens initiate and develop from the inside to the outstide of the androecium. |  |
| Centripetal stamen initiation | A developmental process in which the stamens first initate on the outside of the androecium (i.e., around the edge of the staminal) and progressively develop from the outside to the inside of the androecium. | |
| Stamen | The male part of the flower comprised of the filament and the anther; in the Lecythidaceae stamens are found attached to the staminal tube in those genera that have one (Allantoma, Cariniana, Grias, and Gustavia) and, as far is known, to the staminal ring of species with zygomorphic flowers. Stamens associated with the ligule are hypothesized to be staminodes bearing antherodes and not anthers. |  |
| Stamen | The male part of the flower comprised of the filament and the anther. |  |
| Vestigial stamen | An appendage derived directly from a staminode and indirectly from a stamen that no longer has an anther or the anther is small and withered compared to the fertile anthers of normal stamens in the staminal ring or the fodder pollen-producing anthers of staminodes. |  |
| Vestigial stamen nectaries | In the Lecythidaceae, the inner-most appendages at the apex of a fully-coiled, zygomorphic-flowered, neotropical Lecythidaceae that produce nectar which accumulates in the nectar chamber. Nectar-producing vestigial stamens and nectar chambers are only found in species of |
