Sentences with DEHISCE (5)

The separation of the sexes, however, is not complete in the Ash; for the female flowers include stamens, which drop off at an early period, and their anthers, which never open or dehisce, generally contain pulpy matter instead of pollen.
The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species Charles Darwin 2001
This bending may be permanent, as with Lythrum and many others, or may be effected, as in Dictamnus fraxinella and others, by a temporary movement, which occurs in the case of the stamens when the anthers dehisce, and in the case of the pistil when the stigma is mature; but these two movements do not always take place simultaneously in the same flower.
The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species Charles Darwin 2001

The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species Charles Darwin 2001
