The anther in Bulbophyllum fimbriatum (Lindl.) Reichb. f. was dithecous and tetrasporangiate. Its wall development conforms to the monocotyledonous type. Mass of dense protoplasmic cells represented the massive archesporium. Each such archesporium developed into pollinium. The anther wall was 4-layered. The endothelial cells developed one or two ring-like radially disposed thickenings on the inner walls. Tapetal cells were uninucleate and dual in origin. Simultaneous cytokinesis resulted in tetrahedral and rhomboidal pollen tetrads. At the time of release of pollnia, pollen grain attained 2-celled stage. Received: December
