When the stamens are attached to the petals it is called Collateral Pollination. Like Dhutura, Eggplant.

Lateral anthers
The anthers that have stamens attached to the entire surface are called lateral anthers.
Adjacent anthers
The anthers on the surface of which the stamens are attached are called anthers.
Pedicel Pollen
The pollinator that has stamens attached to its base is called Pedicel Pollen.
Anther-classification
1. Pedicel Pollen: The pollinator that has stamens attached to its base is called Pedicel Pollen.
2. Adjacent anthers: The anthers on the surface of which the stamens are attached are called anthers.
3. Lateral anthers: The anthers that have stamens attached to the entire surface are called lateral anthers.
4. Sarvamukh pollinator: A pollinator that swings from side to side and faces all directions is called a Sarvamukh pollinator. For example, rice.
5. Collateral Pollination: When the stamens are attached to the petals it is called Collateral Pollination. Like Dhutura, Eggplant.
6. Anthers: If the anther looks like a kidney, it is called Anthers. Jaba, Karpus etc.
7. Linear anthers: If the anthers are narrow and long, they are called linear anthers.
Convolute
In the bud state, if the flowers are connected and arranged spirally, it is called convolute. For example – Bhui Akra.
Vexillary
In the bud state, the largest of the flower whorls or clusters covers the two lateral ones and the two lower ones are called vexillary. For example – Beans, Beans, Aparajita, Atsi, Buckwheat etc.
Quincancial
When in bud, two of the flower petals or clusters are outside, two are inside and the rest is wrapped, then it is called Quincancial. Such as guava, mustard, akand etc.
Imbricate
When in bud, one of the two ends of the flowers is outside, the other is inside and the rest are wrapped, it is called imbricate. Like-Krinchchura, Kalkasunda, Badarlathi etc.
Twisted
If the flowers are twisted or wrapped around each other in bud state, it is called twisted. For example – china rose, Karbi etc.
