Anther
An anther is the pollen-producing part of a flower's stamen. Mango flowers produce pollen that can be carried to receptive stigmas, often by insect visitors. The timing of pollen release and the conditions around the flowers affect whether that pollen contributes to fruit formation. Anthers are not seeds or miniature fruit, and a mass of fallen flower parts does not necessarily indicate a failed crop. Distinguish normal spent flowers from diseased panicles and lost developing fruitlets.
