Stamens. A stamen is the general term for the male reproductive part of an angiosperm. Most flowers posses several of these upright structures, which consist of two main sections. The filament, or stalk, of the stamen stands vertical inside the flower petals.
A typical flower has four main parts, or whorls: the calyx ( sepals ), corolla (petals), androecium (male reproductive structure), and gynoecium (female reproductive structure). Angiosperms that contain both male and female gametophytes within the same flower are called complete and are considered to be androgynous or hermaphroditic.
