    Botany.

    • : turned or facing outward, as anthers that open toward the perianth.

Examples

  • Stamens 3, opposite the outer lobes of the corolla-like perianth; anthers extrorse.

  • Stamens 6–12, more or less united with the style; anthers adnate, extrorse.

  • Filaments thread-like, much longer than the linear-oblong blunt anthers, which are fixed by a point above the base and extrorse.

  • Anthers heart-shaped or kidney-shaped, confluently 1-celled, shield-shaped after opening, extrorse.

  • Sometimes, from their versatile nature, anthers originally introrse become extrorse, as in the Passion-flower and Oxalis.
