1. (DACIMUNROE) ANDROECIUM is a whorl consisting of stamens. It is a male reproductive part of a flower. It consists of anther and filament. Anther contains pollen sacs which contains pollen grains.
2. (MUCIONYGE) GYNOECIUM is a whorl consisting of carpels. It is a female reproductive part of a flower. It consists of flat bead like stigma, tube like structure called style and a bulb like structure called ovary which contains ovules.
