Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Pollination and Cross-Fertilisation in the Common Rice Plant, Oryza Sativa, Linn
Immediately after dehiscence, the glumes diverge a little further apart, the filaments rapidly elongate till the anthers protrude about their own length above the tip'of the glumes, and then bend slowly outwards and downwards so that the anthers ultimately assume a pendent position. But before this stage is reached, in every normal case the anthers have already lost almost all their pollen and pollination has taken place before they emerged at all.
