CIL:39384^*

Description

Transmission electron micrograph showing Amorphophallus titanum anther. The anther on the left is a cross section, showing the locule (cavity where the pollen is located). The anther on the right shows the opening where the pollen are released. This image is part of a group that includes CIL: 39377- 39384.
