The paper presents in the first time the results of a micromorphological study on stamens of Sansevieria species. Flowers of 15 species obtained from herbarium specimens deposited at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Botanical Garden Berlin-Dahlem and the Botanical Garden in Poznań were studied. Observations were conducted under a light and a scanning electron microscope. The study revealed significant differences between the outer and inner surfaces of anthers. All species have a well-defined endothecium of enlarged cells with a U-shaped or helical secondary wall thickening. The article includes descriptions and illustrations of several quantitative and qualitative features of anthers and filaments of some Sansevieria species. Our study indicates that stamen micromorphology may be taxonomically significant.
