A cheesecloth is the male body of the reproduction sexuée at the higher Végétaux or Angiosperme S. It is composed of a net and a Anthère at the top, carrying itself the cabins which produce and contain the Pollen.

The whole of cheesecloths of a Fleur constitutes androcée, located between the Corolle and the Pistil.

Constitution of cheesecloth

Cheesecloth includes/understands three parts:

• the net: it is generally a spindly stem supporting the anthère, often circular, but suitable section for many variations of form according to the species. The net can have a null length, the anthère is then sessile. It can be ramified, carrying several anthères. It can have a flattened form, like a limb of sheet, or like a petal, it is the case in particular at the Nymphaea. It can also be welded with the close nets. The insertion point of the net on the anthère can be at the base, the top or in the middle of this one. This last case is that met at Poacées (graminaceous) in particular.

• the connective one: it is the central part of the anthère located in the prolongation of the net and generally very little developed. Sometimes the connective one develops forming a kind of transverse plague (case of sages for example).

• the Anthère: it is the fertile part of cheesecloth, carrying the pollinic bags joined together in two cabins.

A rudimentary cheesecloth, whose anthère fell through is called staminode.
