Moreover, in Hemp and Hops, and the above-mentioned species of Meadow-rue, the anther-lobes do not burst wide open whenthey dehisce, but exhibit parallel slits which are at first so narrow that the pollencan only shake out little by little. Plantains (Plantago) also have their pollenshaken out of the anthers, which are borne on long filaments, by the wind. Thefilaments are tucked in so long as the flower is in bud, but when the petals unfoldthe filaments straighten out and project beyond the floral spike.
