Pollen=: the powdery substance borne by the stamenof the flower.
I daresay that you are right in that nectar was originally secreted within the staminal tube; but why has not the one stamen long since cohered?
I know not whether botanists consider each petal and stamen an individual; if so, there seems to me no especial difficulty in the case, but if a flower-bud is a unit, are not their flowers very strange?
In scarlet dwarf Pelargonium, you will find occasionally an additional and abnormal stamen on opposite and lower side of flower.
That this papilla is a rudiment of a stamenwas well shown by its various degrees of development in crossed plants between the common and peloric Antirrhinum.

Sometimes, though rarely, the stamen is a little longer than usual, and then the whole stigmatic surface gets thickly covered with pollen.
