The anther in Habenarna diphyla Dalz. is dithecous and tetrasporangiate. Its wall development conforms to the monocot yledongus type. Each archesporialc ell develops intoa block of sporogenous cells before organizing into massulae. The anther wall is 4-layered. The endothecial cells develop ring-like tangential thickening on the inner walls. Tapetal cells are binucleate and of dual origin. The microspore tetrads are tetrahedral, Hecussate, linear and T-shaped. Pollen sheds at 2-celled stage.
